... On the twenty-fifth day of the first
month (Vaitu Nui), Ira and Makoi set
sail; on the first day of June ('Maro'), the bow of
Ira's canoe appeared on the distant horizon, came
closer and closer on its course, and sailed along, and
finally (one) could see the (new home) land ... [E:17]

Darkly Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu, or Hiuen
Heaou, of the Han dynasty,
which Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol of
the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign was a great
deluge; but after the Jesuits came in it became Paou Ping,
the Precious Vase. It contained three of the sieu, and
headed the list of zodiac signs as the Rat, which in
the far East was the ideograph for 'water', and still so
remains in the almanacs of Central Asia, Cochin China, and
Japan ...
Counting from March 29 (88)
where the Sun rose at the Breast of Cassiopeia to right

were 80 days. The Breast of Cassiopeia would in principle
return to visibility 16 days after day 88, viz. in day 104,
and 80 days later, in day 184, Betelgeuze would in principle return to
visibility after its close encounter with the Sun:

When Betelgeuze rose with the Sun in June 17 this did not mean
it returned to visibility 16 days after June 1. Instead we
should count 168 (June 17) + 16 = 184 (July 3)
→ 123 (May 3) + 61.
And we could imagine that the counting here should be done
from FEBRUARY
1, i.e. according to the era of the Girdle of Andromeda.
Once upon a time I decided to count according to how
precession had changed the star positions since Roman
times (*27), according to Bharani (*41), and according to the Golden Age
of the Bull (*64). I had hesitated at *16 but then decided
to rule it out - it would become too complicated because *16
ought to associate to those 16 days before late at night a
star would return to visibility after its close encounter with
the rays from the rising Sun.

... It
inaugurates the most accurate solar calendar
known to the ancient world, with 365¼ days per
year. It declares the deceased princess
Berenike a goddess and creates a cult for
her, with women, men, ceremonies, and special
'bread-cakes'. Lastly it orders the decree to be
incised in stone or bronze in both hieroglyphs
and Greek, and to be publicly displayed in the
temples. The traditional Egyptian calendar had
365 days: twelve months of thirty days each and
an additional five epagomenal days. According to
the reform, the 5-day 'Opening of the Year'
ceremonies would include an additional 6th day
every fourth year. The reason given was that
the rise of Sothis advances to another day in
every 4 years, so that attaching the
beginning of the year to the heliacal rising of
the star Sirius would keep the calendar
synchronized with the seasons. This Ptolemaic
calendar reform failed, but was finally
officially implemented in Egypt by Augustus in
26/25 BCE, now called the Alexandrian calendar,
with a sixth epagomenal day occurring for the
first time on 29 August 22 BCE. Julius Caesar
had earlier implemented a 365¼ day year in Rome
in 45 BCE as part of the Julian calendar ...
