I pointed out in my comments regarding maitaki in Ga3-17 how the same maitaki occurs later in the text (in Ga5-13):

Counting from maitaki in Ga3-17 (76) to maitaki in Ga5-13 (123) the distance is 47 (an ugly number). But then we should perceive the similarity between Ga3-18 and Ga5-15 and here the distance is 48:

45
Ga3-17 Ga3-18 (77) Ga5-13 (123) Ga5-14 Ga5-15

In Ga5-15 there is an empty head-gear, which could mean the Sun has left. According to the Gregorian calendar this was autumn equinox.

In Ga3-18, on the other hand, the Sun was at the Nose of the Lion (κ Leonis), possibly meaning he was on his way up again. 48 days before autumn equinox (265) was day 217 (= 7 * 31) = 137 days after 0h. And 364 - 137 = 227 (π). Just as in Ab1-37:

217 + 48 = 265
80 + 137 = 217
Ab1-37 137 + 227 = 364

Therefore there could have been a sign of return in Ga3-18 and of leaving in Ga5-15. The pair of maitaki glyphs could somehow together allude to the distance from one equinox to the next:
