2. Let's find out where β, γ, δ, and ε are positioned in the G text:
Viri in Ga7-1 seems to mark the first day beyond day 314 and β Corona Borealis is at present rising heliacally in right ascension day 235. We can compare with glyph 235 which has a tagata as a sign of 'fully grown':

"Hyde quoted Kasat al Sālik, and Kas al Masākīn, the Pauper's Bowl, and the Persians had the same in their Kāsah Darwīshān, the Dervish's Platter, or Kāsah Shekesteh, the Broken Platter, because the circle [of the crown] is incomplete ..." Also his alternative name for Gemma (α) has to do with a platter: "Alphecca, the Alphaca of Burritt's Atlas of 1835, was Ulug Beg's Al Nā'ir al Fakkah, The Bright One of the Dish ..."

317 - 164 = 153, the 'mirror number' of 531. The Hare (Lepus) has Arneb (492.0) as its α star. Maybe there is some star we have not yet discovered at right ascension 492.0 - 408 + 153 = 237.0? May 11 (day 131) corresponds to Gb8-17:
