4-8. We can now guess what stars the creator of the E text might have had in mind for the beginning of each glyph line:

ALCYONE (*56) a1 32 32 b1 42 368
BETELGEUZE (*88) a2 33 65 b2 27 395
NAOS (*121 = *56 + *65) a3 35 100 b3 38 433
TANIA AUSTRALIS (*156) a4 36 136 b4 42 475
PORRIMA (*191) a5 42 178 b5 35 510
NUSAKAN (*156 + *78) a6 39 217 b6 36 546
NASH (*273) a7 39 256 b7 42 588
  a8 *34 290 b8 40 628
  a9 36 326 sum 302
  sum *326 sum total *628 → 2 * 314

And we should then with comparable confidence be able to continue with arranging the glyphs in parallel with the stars which ideally the Full Moon would have been located at when the Sun was 183 nakshatra days away:

... Dubb, more generally Dubhe, the Bear, is the abbreviation of the Arabians' Thahr al Dubb al Akbar, the Back of the Greater Bear, Dubb being first found in the Alfonsine Tables. Al Bīrūnī said that it was the Hindu Kratu, the Rishi or Sage. Lockyer asserts that it was Āk, the Eye, i.e. the prominent one of the constellation, utilized in the alignment of the walls of the temple of Hathor of Denderah, and the orientation point of that structure perhaps before 5000 B.C.; at all events, before the Thigh became circumpolar, about 4000 B.C. This was in the times of the Hor-she-shu, the worshipers of Horus, before the reign of Mena, when the star had a declination of over 64°, - now about 62° 24'. Mena, Menes, or Min was the first historic king of Egypt, his date being variously given from 5867 B.C. to 3892 B.C., Flinders Petrie making it, from astronomical data, 4777 B.C. And he finds two other temples also so oriented. As typifying a goddess of Egypt, it was Bast Isis and Taurt Isis. The Chinese know it as Tien Choo, Heaven's Pivot, and as Kow Ching ...

... I became interested in what really happened at March 15 and reopened Henrikson to find out: Caesar was forewarned of the threat by the prophet Spurinna, who told him that a great threat was coming at Idus Martiae or just before. The day arrived and Caesar was still living. He was walking to his meeting with the Senate when he happened to encounter Spurinna and told him jokingly that he was still alive. Spurinna calmely answered that the day had yet not ended. The Romans divided their months in two parts and the dividing point was Idus, which in some way was connected with full moon. March 15 was the midpoint of March, which is close to spring equinox. The old agricultural year defined the beginning of the year to the time when sun returned, and it was connected with Mars ...
