The last glyph in the line resembles Ga2-26, which in turn is quite similar to Cb4-20:

... There are very few glyphs which can be directly compared between the C and G texts. I have so far secured only one such bridge across from one text to the other, viz. Ga2-26 compared with Cb4-20:

There are 483 days from Bharani to Shir (ρ Leonis), from day 41 to June 7. 41 + 483 = 524. Shir ruled the 16th Babylonian ecliptic station:

16 Maru-sha-arkat-Sharru Son-4 behind the King ρ (Shir) Leonis 158.9 Aug 26 (238)

August 26 (238) - June 7 (158) = 80 and July 16 (197) - June 7 (158) = 39 = 80 - 41.

Among the Chinese the Extended Net stretched for 27 days beyond day 210 and in this net was their 25th station Star:

22 Well μ Gemini (Tejat Posterior) Tapir (95.4) Jun 24 (175) 175 = 164 + 11
23 Ghost ρ Gemini ? Goat (112.1) Jul 11 (192) 192 = 175 + 17
24 Willow δ Hydrae Stag (129.6) Jul 28 (209) 209 = 192 + 17
25 Star α Hydrae (Alphard) Horse (142.3) Aug 10 (222) 222 = 209 + 11
26 Extended Net ε Hydrae / μ Hydrae Ox (131.9 / 157.1) Jul 30 (211) / Aug 25 (237) 237 = 222 + 15
27 Wings α Crateris (Alkes) Snake (165.6) Sep 2 (245) 245 = 237 + 8
28 Chariot γ Corvi (Gienah) Worm (185.1) Sep 22 (265) 265 = 245 + 20

Alphard (142.3, August 10) would then be 237 - 222 = 15 glyphs earlier than Cb4-19, because 157 - 142 = 15 and June 30 (181) + 15 = 196 (July 15), when in rongorongo times Pollux rose with the Sun.

Nothing definitely conclusive appears to be attained from this excercise.

Gb3-30 at the end of line Gb3 is similar to Ga2-26, with the upper part the same but the bottom different:

January 18 (383) October 8 (281)
ºJanuary 14 (379) ºOctober 4 (277)

By adding 264 to ºJuly 15 (196) we will reach ºApril 4 (460 = 365 + 95), which could have defined the end of the old cycle. 460 = 23 * 20.

Adhil is ξ Andromedae:

"ξ, 4.9, is Adhil, first appearing in the Almagest of 1515, and again in the Alfonsine Tables of 1521, from Al Dhail, the Train of the Garment, the Arabic equivalent of Ptolemy's σύρμα; but Baily thought the title better applied to the slightly fainter A, which is more nearly in that part of the lady's dress; and Bayer erroneously gave it to the 6th-magnitude b, claiming - for he was somewhat of an astrologer - although the Os Protestantium of his day - that, with the surrounding stars, it partook of the nature of Venus."
