was at

I have
suggested
the star

were
defined
for the
time of
Haedus
II and
then the

stars at
the

would
have coincided
with

LEG OF OPHIUCHUS |
The
name
Nodus
I
refers
to
the
central
curve
of
the
serpentine
body
of
the
Dragon,
above
the
feet
of
upside
down Ursa
Minor.
"δ
...
is
the
Nodus
Secundus
of
several
catalogues,
as
marking
the
2d
of
the
four
Knots,
or
convolutions,
in
the
figure
of
the
Dragon."
(Allen)
From
Nodus
I to
Nodus
II
there
were
227

days,
which
ought
to
have
been
known
by
the
rongorongo
writers.
