... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day') ...

In March 1 (according to my assumed epoch for the rongorongo texts) was the right ascension line for *345 and the corresponding line at the time of the Eye of the Bull had thus advanced with 8 * 8 positions, i.e. from DECEMBER 27 (361) to day 361 + 64 = 425 = 365 + 60. And there were 7 + 2 * 29 = 65 days from Ga8-14 (217) to Gb2-27 (→ π):
