The H text goes on alone and we can try to extrapolate the dates in the same manner as we just have done for the end of the P text:
February 25 is a tagata day according to G, and - we have just concluded in connection with looking at the P text - February 26 could be a leap day (with glyph number 386 = 2 * 193):
In the Gregorian calendar March 1 is day 60 and in H there seems to be (dates are uncertain) a Rei glyph:
Another Rei follows 10 glyphs later. 1176 / 3 = 392 (= 386 + 6). What could be its purpose?
Ominous glyphs (rau hei and vaha kai) arrive in the week before the end of the cycle of Jupiter:
1197 / 3 = 399 and the synodic cycle of Jupiter apparently ends 10 weeks after the end of the Gregorian year, 435 - 365 = 70 and 435 - 36 = 399. The dates I have tried to assign for the glyphs in G are ambivalent. On one hand I have extrapolated backwards from the beginning of side a and on the other I have counted forward from side a. If the heliacal rising of Sirius is at Gb6-20 (which judging from the design of the glyphs is a more reasonable assumption than its position at Ga2-7) then the date at Gb6-20 ought to be June 30. On the other hand is it hard to avoid assigning the date February 23 to Gb5-29. 181 (Gb6-20) - 54 (February 23) = 127, but the distance from Gb5-29 (383) to Gb6-20 (403) is 20 (= 127 - 107). I assume the date for glyph 399 is to be counted forward. Therefore there ought to be 399 - 366 = 33 days from the end of the Gregorian year to the end of Jupiter's cycle. Yet, hakaariki in Gb5-24 can either be read as February 18 (49) or - from the position of Easter Island - as June 5 (156). 156 - 107 = 49. |
