At '22h we can imagine 216 + 33 = 249, which happens to be the position of Antares (when rising heliacally 249 days beyond equinox). Perhaps it is a Sign to make us count days from Ga7-16 to Gb2-16:

Ga7-11 Ga7-12 Ga7-13 (*246) Ga7-14 (184)
Rutilicus (243.5) ψ Scorpii (244.6), Lesath-ν (244.8), χ Scorpii (245.1) Yed Prior (245.5) Yed Posterior (246.6), ο Scorpii (246.8), σ Scorpii (247.0)

Kajam (248.3) Antares (249.1)  
'November 24 '25 (329) '26

186 + 86 = 272. Day 272 is 'September 29. From there to 'February 19 there are 415 - 272 = 143 days (= 365 - 222).

7-16 minus 2-16 = 5-00, as if pointing at 'Rima' (the 'fire' in the sky). But the subtraction is going in the wrong direction, it seems, withershins instead of following Sun. Instead, line b2 is to be considered as the 10th line (counted from a1). Thus 10-16 - 7-16 = 3-00, the number of days for Sun.

The manzil Saad Al Thabib begins with the day before 272 days after 'May 16, i.e. with 'February 11:
