17. The H and P texts advance and Q later reappears with what possibly could be meant as an illustration of the fraction of a day:

At tagata in Hb5-27 we can count 52 * 7 = 364. 875 (Pb7-11) - 364 = 511 = 73 * 7.

875 (Pb7-11) = 125 * 7 = (52 + 73) * 7.

Nevertheless, basic is presumably to count 52 weeks = 5 * 27 + 229, which could explain why there are 229 glyphs on side a of the G tablet.
