9-1. Having cleared up the problem of a missing glyph in line Ea8 we can now once again return to the Phaistos disc. The last place on its top side could possibly correspond to MAY 3 (123):

... About Carmenta we know from the historian Dionysus Periergetis that she gave orcales to Hercules and lived to the age of 110 years. 110 was a canonical number, the ideal age which every Egyptian wished to reach and the age at which, for example, the patriarch Joseph died. The 110 years were made up of twenty-two Etruscan lustra of five years each; and 110 years composed the 'cycle' taken over from the Etruscans by the Romans. At the end of each cycle they corrected irregularities in the solar calendar by intercalation and held Secular Games. The secret sense of 22 - sacred numbers were never chosen haphazardly - is that it is the measure of the circumference of the circle when the diameter is 7. This proportion, now known as pi, is no longer a religious secret; and is used today only as a rule-of-thumb formula, the real mathematical value of pi being a decimal figure which nobody has yet been able work out because it goes on without ever ending, as 22 / 7 does, in a neat recurring sequence [3.142857142857 ...]. Seven lustra add up to thirty-five years, and thirty-five at Rome was the age at which a man was held to reach his prime and might be elected Consul. (The same age was fixed upon by a Classically-minded Convention as the earliest at which an American might be elected President of the United States.) ...

In which case we could count to 39 'stolen' right ascension days from the figure of Rogo at July 6 (six 'sleeping mats' after Sirius in June 30) to August 14 (181 + 45 = 187 + 39 = 226 = 168 + 2 * 29):

From the Scarab (110) to the end of the top side on the Phaistos disc there are 13 glyphs. Similarly, from the empty glyph space at position 261 in the E text to August 14 at Ea8-18 there are 13 glyphs (right ascension days):

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th [161 + 16 = 177 = 354 / 2 = 6 * 29] and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th [177 + 14 = 191], the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

This confluence of ideas secures interpretations:

... From such technical fundamentals (in a way corresponding to the axioms in the Elementa of Euclid) a whole integrated world (hologram) opens up, possible to expand without limits like the box of Pandora ...

For instance will we now be able to determine where late on side b of the G tablet there probably is an inversion in time-space. It should come with 'the 6 sleeping mats'. 408 - 6 = 402:

Beyond Ea8-18 we can therefore expect to turn the Phaistos disc around to its bottom side:

Looking anew we can percive a spiral gowing out from the center and disappearing at the string with 5 knots. On the top side of the disc the spiral from the center seems similarly to disappear at a string with 4 knots:

The pattern on the top side with a pair of 8-petal flowers covering 13 days at a central beginning seems to be repeated at its edge with an 8-petal flower pointing down to the bottom side, to its only 8-petal flower - which also is located on the edge (presumably equinox):
