5. On the other hand, south of the equator, the beginning of summer is reflected by Scorpio and the twins at its tail: ... In the legends of the Polynesian Islanders, notably those of the Hervey group, the stars in the Scorpion, from the two lettered μ to λ and υ [i.e., with a pair of stars at both ends], were the Fish-hook of Maui, with which that god drew up from the depths the great island Tongareva; and the names and legend that Ellis, in his Polynesian Researches, applied to Castor and Pollux in Gemini, the Reverend Mr. W. W. Gill asserts, in his Myths and Songs of the South Pacific, belong here, and are the favorites among the story-tellers of the Hervey Islands. They make the star μ¹ a little girl, Piri-ere-ua, the Inseparable, with her smaller brother, μ², fleeing from home to the sky when ill treated by their parents, the stars λ and υ, who followed them and are still in pursuit ...
The Milky Way is divided in this region, at the tail of the Serpent:
The left foot of Ophiuchus is reassuringly immersed in the main stream of the Milky Way and we can guess some other constellation figure on the other side of the Milky Way also has a limb down in the stream in order to continue the path of time beyond the 18h line:
The parallels between Orion plus twins on one hand and Ophiuchus plus twins on the other seems to include an archer. Beyond Ophiuchus there is Sagittarius and on the Babylonian map the constellations Bow and Arrow follow the True Shepherd of Anu:
Perhaps an arrow is needed to ignite a new fire in the sky: ... A man had a daughter who possessed a wonderful bow and arrow, with which she was able to bring down everything she wanted. But she was lazy and was constantly sleeping. At this her father was angry and said: 'Do not be always sleeping, but take thy bow and shoot at the navel of the ocean, so that we may get fire.' The navel of the ocean was a vast whirlpool in which sticks for making fire by friction were drifting about. At that time men were still without fire. Now the maiden seized her bow, shot into the navel of the ocean, and the material for fire-rubbing sprang ashore. Then the old man was glad. He kindled a large fire, and as he wanted to keep it to himself, he built a house with a door which snapped up and down like jaws and killed everybody that wanted to get in. But the people knew that he was in possession of fire, and the stag determined to steal it for them. He took resinous wood, split it and stuck the splinters in his hair. Then he lashed two boats together, covered them with planks, danced and sang on them, and so he came to the old man's house. He sang: 'O, I go and will fetch the fire.' The old man's daughter heard him singing, and said to her father: 'O, let the stranger come into the house; he sings and dances so beautifully.' The stag landed and drew near the door, singing and dancing, and at the same time sprang to the door and made as if he wanted to enter the house. Then the door snapped to, without however touching him. But while it was again opening, he sprang quickly into the house. Here he seated himself at the fire, as if he wanted to dry himself, and continued singing. At the same time he let his head bend forward over the fire, so that he became quite sooty, and at last the splinters in his hair took fire. Then he sprang out, ran off and brought the fire to the people ... We should remember (cfr at Sirrah) there is an arrow constellation in the 20th right ascension hour:
The dates in the last of the lines in my table are based on the idea that side b is beginning with 'June 1, which is consistent with mago in Ga2-14 in 'July 7:
