Hevelius has above the Eagle (Aquila) placed a flying Arrow (Sagitta), at the left front paw of a Fox (Lat. Vulpecula): 
And we have noticed that we should count (hia) from the night when the Full Moon (Hotu) reached Sham (Arrow):
| Hotu Ta.: hotu, to produce fruit, Sa.: fotu, id. Mgv.: akahotu, the September season. Churchill.
H.: Hoku, Night of the full moon. When this moon set before daylight it was called Hoku Palemo, Hoku that slips away. When it set after daylight it was called Hoku Ili, grounded Hoku. Ka mahina o Hoku, the full moon of the night Hoku. Cf. hōkū, star. Hō kū, star. (PPN fetu'u). Wehewehe.
... When this tremendous task had been accomplished Atea took a third husband, Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event. Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we are not told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the [male] eyes of Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west ... |

In Roman times the Sun had reached Sham in day number 350 ('December 16) = 50 weeks for the Sun. At the time of rongorongo, 27 precessional days later, the day number was 377, as counted from January 1 in the preceding year.
The Julian calendar introduced in 46 B.C. by Caesar changed the earlier 355 day long regular calendar by increasing the length of 7 of the months:

... The ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months, for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March. This intercalary month was formed by inserting 22 days after the first 23 or 24 days of February; the last five days of February, which counted down toward the start of March, became the last five days of Intercalaris. The net effect was to add 22 or 23 days to the year, forming an intercalary year of 377 or 378 days ...
