9-3. There is only one 'palace' (house) glyph on the upper side of the Phaistos disc and there is only one 8-petal flower on its bottom side:

Counting the location for this bottom flower, as measured down from the central apex to the rim between the upper and lower sides of the disc, it seems to be at place number 118 - 48 = 70 (→ 350 / 5). In other words the location could possibly have been intended to be 48 days after the rim. Here there could be perceived a  palindrome: 84 (Julian equinox) + 48 → 7 * 12 + 4 * 12 = 11 * 12 = 132 → 364 - 232 = 4 * 91 - 8 * 29 = 7 * 52 - 4 * 58.

The pair of palaces for the kings are only a few steps (days) away and they seem to arrive 118 - 68 = 50 (→ 350 / 7) days before the end at the rim.

Assuming we should count days on the bottom side of the Phaistos disc separately from the flow of days on its top side, the perspective therefore seems to be:

And supposing we could use the E text for interpretations, we must first recall that the end of line a8 presumably was intended to correspond to August 31 (243 → 3 * 81) with the Full Moon ideally at *345 = *328 + *17:

Aug 21 22 23 24 (236) 25 (*157) (121 + 117) (56 + 183) 28 (⅔ * 360)

... Then I recalled the epos of Gilgamesh (→ the one who lights the fire), said to be the earliest myth remembered today.

... Without taking part in the heated discussion on the interpretation of the very name Gilgamesh - dGIS.GIN.MEZ/MAS, and other forms - one can mention that GIS means 'wood, tree', and MEZ/MAS a particular kind of wood, and that there are reasons for understanding our hero as a true Prometheus ...

And from there I remembered (→) the odd statement that Gilgamesh was 'two thirds a god', which made me think of (→) glyph number 242 at the Fire Tripod (Al Safi), because 2 / 3 * (366 - 3) = 242 (→ 2 * 121) ...

There he saw the double canoe way out near the (offshore) islets, and the two (hulls of the canoe) were lashed together.

In order to reach the glyph corresponding to number 65 on the bottom of the Phaistos disc we should presumably carry on past the red dawn (vaha mea) in Ea8-35 (*345) with a distance measuring *65 - (*345 - *328) = *48 right ascension days (glyphs).

There are only 36 glyphs in line a9 and therefore we have to turn the E tablet around in order to look there for glyph number (48 - 36) = 12.

*345 (Ea8-35) + *36 = *381 (day 461 = 365 + 96) should be at the end of line Ea9. Let's therefore continue by investigating those 36 glyphs in line Ea9 from the beginning:
