Should we continue to read nakshatra wise (because the arrow head pointing down in Gb1-19 could refer to the 8th Hindu station Pushya), then the 26th Chinese station Extended Net would begin at Gb1-20 with ε Hydrae on the forehead of the creature:

The simultaneous 13th Babylonian ecliptic station refers to Cancer (the Southeast Star in the Crab) - to the House of the Carpenter.

... the proper attention will have to be paid to the Babylonian name of Cancer, namely Nangar(u), 'the Carpenter'. This is essential because in the twelfth tablet of the Gilgamesh Epic, preserved only in Sumerian language, Gilgamesh complains bitterly of having lost his 'pukku and mikku', instead of having left them 'in the house of the carpenter', where they would have been safe apparently ...

Here the nakshatra dates at the time of the Gate of the Goat would have been important. ●MAY 18 was 58 = 2 * 29 days after 0h, ●MAY 17 was 118 = 2 * 59 days after ●JANUARY 19 (384). And ●MAY 16 was day 136 (= 8 * 17) = 365 - 229 = 472 - 336 (= 8 * 42). I.e. 8 * (42 - 17) = 200.

The date ●MAY 16 (where 51 * 6 = 17 * 18) was probably remembered by the calendar makers who would tend to integrate this day in their creations. The Chinese had their 18th station Hairy Head at Alcyone in the Pleiades which rose with the Sun in May 16 and this was also the place for the Babylonian Foundation Stone (Temennu). A mud-baked brick is like a stone:

Counting from heliacal Alcyone (Temennu) in May 16 (136) to Ascellus Australis (the Southeast Star in the House of the Carpenter) in July 30 (211) the distance was 75 days. Or we could count the distance the other way as 365 - 75 = 290 days:

4 Temennu Foundation Stone η (Alcyone) Tauri 56.1 May 16 (136) 75
74
13 Arkū-sha-nangaru-sha-shūtu Southeast Star in the Crab δ (Ascellus Australis) Cancri 131.4 July 30 (211) 290
289

The precessional distance from Haedus II to the time of rongorongo was also 75 days and therefore 290 could be used to describe not only the number of days from May 16 to July 30 but also used for other distances in time:

May 16 (136) 289 ●MARCH 2 (61 + 365 = 426) 74
July 30 (211) 289 ●MAY 16 (136 + 365 = 501) 74
