The text on side a was beginning at 0h according to the time of the Hyades Gate, which means 64 precessional days earlier in antiquity than 0h at Sirrah. Sirrah would at that time have risen with the Sun 64 days earlier than in MARCH 21 (80):

However, counting by the Gate of the Goat, the hairy one in Auriga, Sirrah would have risen with the Sun 11 days earlier, already in ●JANUARY 5:

... Then a man arose from ocean // From the waves a hero started, // Not the hugest of the hugest, // Not the smallest of the smallest. // As a man's thumb was his stature; // Lofty as the span of woman.

The 'puny man from the ocean', whose 'hair reached down to his heels, the beard to his knees', announces, 'I have come to fell the oak tree / And to splinter it to fragments' ...

After having cut down the Oak and 'splintered it to fragments' at the northern high summer this late born man from the sea ought to have had the responsability to replant the same kind of tree later. Or we could say he was the one who had planted it in the first place, in the previous cycle and about half a year earlier.

Moving ahead to the month when the Tree of Jupiter was cut down will possibly take us to day 177 (= 6 * 29½). And 403 (Gb6-21) + 177 = 580 = 471 + 1 + 108:

●DECEMBER 31 ●JANUARY 1 2 3 65

There is indeed a vaha mea of sorts in day 177 + 1 and in day 172 + 1 there is a 'fishy' manu kake with a shorter beak in front than in the past. The truncation of the Tree could have taken place already in the preceding day and the 'Fish' (puny man from the ocean) may have risen to power at Ga4-21. Henua in Ga4-27 could illustrate how the Tree in Ga4-20 looks after it had been 'pruned'.

However, dates and glyphs are only of secondary importance. Our main source are the stars:

The power of the Sun Lion diminished and his fluid was running out. Zosma (δ) and Coxa (θ) were used to find the general place, but the proper letter was χ.

In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands that form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ.

Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas). When fused within a single typespace with the Greek letter Rho, it is called the labarum and used to represent the person of Jesus Christ. (Wikipedia)

... tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300 ... Taw is believed to be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...

Taw, Tav or Taf is the twenty-second and last letter in many Semitic abjads ... In gematria Tav represents the number 400, the largest single number that can be represented without using the Sophit forms ...

'From Aleph to Taf' describes something from beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent of the English 'From A to Z' ...

Tav is the last letter of the Hebrew word emet, which means truth. The midrash explains that emet is made up of the first, middle, and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem, and Tav...). Sheqer (falsehood), on the other hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and 21st (and penultimate) letters.

Thus, truth is all-encompassing, while falsehood is narrow and deceiving. In Jewish mythology it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ... (Wikipedia)
