4-1. Once again. The Lucky King (Sad-al-melik, α Aquarii) was positioned at 22h and this was 14 days after day 400 at Sad-al-sud (β Aquarii), the star named the 'Luckiest of the Lucky', located 40 right ascension days before 0h. 40 - 14 = 26.
... The measure from 24 weeks to 364 / 2 = 182 was a fortnight. Thus there were 14 days missing. And this would result in 2 * 14 (→ All Hearts' Day) = 28 days missing for a whole year ... ...The four bereaved and searching divinities, the two mothers and their two sons, were joined by a fifth, the moon-god Thoth (who appears sometimes in the form of an ibis-headed scribe, at other times in the form of a baboon), and together they found all of Osiris save his genital member, which had been swallowed by a fish ...
Sadalmelik (*334, February 18) was also 14 days before right ascension day *348 (→ number of glyphs on side b of the C tablet). 80 + 348 = 428 = 365 + 9 weeks = 400 + 28 = 4 * 107 = 4 * (16 * 29½ - 365) = 64 * 29½ - 1460. 1460 = 4 * 364 + 4 = 4 * (364 + 1) = 20 * 73 = 20 * 365 / 5.
Right ascension day *348 ought to be at glyph number Ea4-17, i.e. 18 days after All Hearts' Day (*330). Looking at the beginning of line Ea4 we can find day number 80 + 348 = 428 at glyph number 11 → 'one more' (than 10):
Right ascension day *348 was at Fum-al-Samakah (the Mouth of the Fish), but anciently the proper position would have been Fom-al-haut (the Mouth of the Fish) at glyph number Ea4-16 (→ 4 * 16 = 64).
