With ζ Ophiuchi at Ga7-18 we can perceive
the glyph could have been drawn to be a
representation of Ophiuchus (the fused triplet
below) in contact with the head of upside-down
Hercules above:

(251.0) |
The Head of Ophiuchus, Ras Alhague, came 15
days later:

And from this we could deduce that presumably
Ba8-2 referred to the Serpent Carrier, and
if so probably to α Ophiuchi:

296 (Ba8-2) suggests the Head of Ophiuchus
could have moved ahead with 30 right
ascension days - corresponding to the
measure for how much Hamal (*30) had moved
ahead since Roman times.
