There could be similarities in the stars - with the beginning of the text on side a at heliacal ε Arietis and also, at midnight, the culmination of Denebola - possible to compare with the phenomena at Gb4-24:

Gb4-24 Gb4-25 Gb4-26 (117) Gb4-27
Februarius 28 (2) 1st day before the Kalends of March March 2 (61) 3
ρ Arietis (43.0), Acamar (43.6), ε Arietis (43.7)

Gienah

And this should make us look anew at the end of side b (possibly comparable to Gb4-18 etc):

A great ragi at Gb4-32 (where 4 * 32 = 128) could perhaps be associated with Algenib Persei, where once upon a time the northern spring light would have returned after the decapitation of the medusa star Algol:

At Ga1-6 a similar ragi has been drawn in front:

124
Gb4-32 (123) Ga1-6 (248)
March 7 (66) JULY 12 (193)
Algenib Persei (50.0), ο Tauri (50.2), ξ Tauri (50.8)

Gienah

 τ Arietis (49.7)
May 10 (130) May 9 (129)

248 = 124 + 124 = 8 * 31.

JULY 12 (193) - March 7 (66) = 127 = 125 + 2. A back side reading continuing this far gives questionable results and we can probably rule out a back side reading of the text up to Ga1-6. Instead it is more probable we should read the beginning of the front side at the end of side b.
