The end (Al Tarf) of the old
year could have been around day 227 (π),
around day 200 ('July 19), or around day 186 ("July
5), as defined by the position of the Full Moon in
the nights following Ukdah
(the Knot around the neck of Hydra):

Glyph 265
could allude to day 185 + 80 = September 22. Or it
could allude to day 265 - 80 = 145 counted from 0h.
Birth and death are the twin sides of life.
On the front side of the tablet we
have to go to line Ga3 in order to find the place
for the Foundation:

Possibly we should here add
182 days to my heliacal dates in order to
get Sadalsud at the nakshatra position
corresponding to Alterf.
Such an adjustment
would also put θ Piscis
Austrini close to the Full Moon when
the Sun was at the great tagata in
Ga4-1. The nakshatra positions were probably
only approximate. Furthermore, my structure
for assigning nakshatras dates assumes a year with 365¼
nights, which could be different from the
cycle
used by the creator of the G text.
There are 182 days from
mago in Ga3-23 to vaha mea in
Gb2-10:
