1. The Archer has his bow (in Arabic: kaus) defined by λ (Kaus Borealis), δ (Kaus Medius), and ε (Kaus Australis):

I have put a break in time between Ga8-18 and Ga8-19, a jump from the end of the year to 'May 24, based upon my interpretation of the 'key' (cfr at Double Double):

7 34 206 44
Ga8-19 Gb1-1 (231) Gb2-10 (266) 250 Ga2-14 (45)
'May 24 (144) 7 'June 1 (152) 34 'July 6 (187) 177 187 'July 7 (188)

The parallel sequence of dates which is running 63 days earlier possibly ends already with "October 27, because it is day 300 in our calendar. A stronger argument might be Double Double at Gb8-1 and "October 28:

Gb7-28 (*30) Gb7-29 Gb7-30 (441) Gb7-31
Alamak (29.7) Hamal (30.5) Vega (281.8)  
2h (30.4) 'April 21 (111) 'December 28 (362) '29 (363)

'30 (364) 'December 31 (365) 'April 26 '27 '28 (118)
"October 28 (301) "29 "30 "31 "November 1

Maybe the end of the calendar with day 300 once upon a time motivated the image of an Archer who is shooting his Arrow across the gap to the beginning of next year. The Arrow will land where there is a new land.
