Once again, the explorers stayed for 2 days in Ahu Akapu. Keeping a firm grip of 5 days at Papa O Pea it is reasonable to let the last of those 5 days represent day 236 (= 8 * 29):

But there are difficulties:

... 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.

On the twenty-sixth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went from Papa O Pea to Aku Akapu. They all went and reached Aku Akapu. They looked around and gave the name 'Aku Akapu A Hau Maka'. They also saw (all of) Te Pito O Te Kainga, looked around, and gave (the whole island) the name 'Te Pito O Te Kainga A Hau Maka.' They made camp and rested at Ahu [sic!] Akapu for two days ...

Hora Iti 20

... they went to Papa O Pea.

21-25

They stayed five days in Papa O Pea.

Hora Iti 26

... they went from Papa O Pea to Aku Akapu.

27-28

They made camp and rested at Ahu Akapu for two days.

And Barthel has wrongly written Aku Akapu the first 3 times, whereas it should be Ahu Akapu in all 4 places. This is clear from reading Manuscript E, p. 30:

 I therefore have to reorganize my tables:

In Roman times, when Julius Caesar decided there should be a new calendar with 2 new months, The Extended Net was (as could be observed from the Full Moon in the nights) finished in day 393 counted from the previous 'January 1. This number is one more than the number of glyphs on side a of the Mamari tablet.

'January 29 was day 314 counted from 'March 21 and at the time of Bharani (a thousand years earlier) "January 15 was day 300 counted from "March 21.

314 / 2 = 157 and in rongorongo times μ Hydrae rose with the Sun in Hora Iti 25 (237).

Ga4-13 probably alludes to 413 = 14 * 29½. Here henua is open to the sky:
