The 4th glyph line was ending, it seems, where the Sun reached day 254 (= 2 * 127) counted from January 1 and when the Full Moon arrived at March 13 (the day before the π date). The Sun was at Giauzar (λ Draconis) and the Full Moon was at λ Andromedae:

By counting a 7-day wake from JUNE 24 (St John's Eve), however, a new year could possibly have begun already with JULY 1 (like the Celtic year). 16 days earlier was at Ga4-7 (90) and from τ Puppis (at Ga2-8) - just above Canopus - to Simiram (ω) there were 234 - 182 (= 52) days. Ga2-8 (38) + 52 = 90 (Ga4-7):

When Ancha (α Phoenicis) was at the Full Moon (Ga4-7, where 4 * 7 = 28) the prow of the Ship of the Sun (Argo Navis) would have been destroyed from having collided with the trunk of the Oak Tree, causing a full stop (maro). The 'tree' in front in Ga4-7 - with 3 + 3 = 6 'double twigs' - could possibly have illustrated how new sprouts were generated from the prow (horn, tara) of Argo Navis:

From these old 'splinters' a new fire in the sky could be generated:

... The trunk is then uprooted and split into faggots ...

At the time of Gregory XIII the Old Oak Ship would surely have been finished in day 150 counted from 0h. And at the time of Julius Caesar ω would have been in day 127 (= 254 / 2) counted from 0h. Only the stern remained - and maybe some timbers from its prow, floating on the sea.

... A man had a daughter who possessed a wonderful bow and arrow, with which she was able to bring down everything she wanted. But she was lazy and was constantly sleeping. At this her father was angry and said: 'Do not be always sleeping, but take thy bow and shoot at the navel of the ocean, so that we may get fire.' The navel of the ocean was a vast whirlpool in which sticks for making fire by friction were drifting about. At that time men were still without fire. Now the maiden seized her bow, shot into the navel of the ocean, and the material for fire-rubbing sprang ashore.

Then the old man was glad. He kindled a large fire, and as he wanted to keep it to himself, he built a house with a door which snapped up and down like jaws and killed everybody that wanted to get in. But the people knew that he was in possession of fire, and the stag determined to steal it for them. He took resinous wood, split it and stuck the splinters in his hair. Then he lashed two boats together, covered them with planks, danced and sang on them, and so he came to the old man's house. He sang: 'O, I go and will fetch the fire.' The old man's daughter heard him singing, and said to her father: 'O, let the stranger come into the house; he sings and dances so beautifully.' The stag landed and drew near the door, singing and dancing, and at the same time sprang to the door and made as if he wanted to enter the house. Then the door snapped to, without however touching him. But while it was again opening, he sprang quickly into the house. Here he seated himself at the fire, as if he wanted to dry himself, and continued singing. At the same time he let his head bend forward over the fire, so that he became quite sooty, and at last the splinters in his hair took fire. Then he sprang out, ran off and brought the fire to the people ...
