With Ga2-24 as the last day in the week at Hanga Takaure it seems necessary to adjust my earlier presentations with 1 day, forcing Hanga Hoonu to begin in Anakena 18 (when Gregorian night 378 - equal to the synodic period of Saturn - was at the opposite side of the sky):

According to the calendar time of Al Sharatain Ga2-25 should have marked the completion of 'December 20, the night before the solstice. In the Bharani calendar Ga2-25 should have been 14 nights earlier, marking the completion of night 260 beyond "March 21.

Reading the night sky close to the Full Moon the kuhane station Rangi Meamea could have indicated the end of 13 * 29½ nights counted from ºJanuary 1. 383 - 183 = 200 (ºJuly 19). Poor Kuukuu had been defeated by the Turtle and the beautiful Oromanga would soon be ready to receive a new Sun King.

16 days after heliacal Al Tarf (The End, β Cancri) this star would become visible in early dawn. In ºAugust 4 (216):

"He (i.e., Ira) said, 'Let's go! We shall go to Papa O Pea.' They all got up and moved on. On the twentieth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went to Papa o Pea. They all went and came to Papa O Pea, looked around in Papa O Pea, and gave the name 'Papa O Pea A Hau Maka'. [Papa O Pea was repeated 5 times, which ought to be a Sign.]

They stayed five days in Papa O Pea."

We ought to use the Easter Island dates rather than the Gregorian, i.e. adjusted with 4 days ahead compared to our own calendar. They did not reach Papa O Pea in August 20 (= ºAugust 20) but in Hora Iti 20 (= August 24):
