475. The last right ascension day in
the life of
Epimenides
could possibly have coincided with the
first glyph on side b of the C tablet, i.e. to the First Point of
Aries (<) which in Roman times had been at Sheratan:

... The
original story was by Diogenes Laertius, an
Epicurean philosopher circa early half third
century, in his book On the Lives, Opinions, and
Sayings of Famous Philosophers. The story is in
Chapter ten in his section on the Seven Sages, who
were the precursors to the first philosophers. The
sage was Epimenides. Apparently Epimenides went to
sleep in a cave for fifty-seven years. But
unfortunately, 'he became old in as many days as he
had slept years'. Although according to the
different sources that Diogenes relates, Epimenides
lived to be one hundred and fifty-seven years, two
hundred and ninety-nine years, or one hundred and
fifty-four years.
A
similar story is told of the Seven Sleepers of
Ephesus, Christian
saints
who fall asleep in a cave while avoiding Roman
persecution, and awake more than a century later to
find that Christianity has become the religion of
the
Empire
...
However,
the Full Moon was at the
opposite side of the
year and the first
Chinese station was at
the pair Spica and Heze,
which raises doubts. For
instance could the last
glyph before number 378
(→ Saturn) at vero
have
corresponded to the last
day when Epimenides was
alive. 377 = 393 - 16 =
220 + 157 and this was
where the Wolf (Upwaut,
Fenrir) was
ruling
(rose heliacally):

... 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 ... |

... The king, wearing now a short, stiff archaic mantle, walks in a grave and stately manner to the sanctuary of the wolf-god Upwaut, the 'Opener of the Way', where he anoints the sacred standard and, preceded by this, marches to the palace chapel, into which he disappears. A period of time elapses during which the pharaoh is no longer manifest. When he reappears he is clothed as in the Narmer palette, wearing the kilt with Hathor belt and bull's tail attatched. In his right hand he holds the flail scepter and in his left, instead of the usual crook of the Good Shepherd, an object resembling a small scroll, called the Will, the House Document, or Secret of the Two Partners, which he exhibits in triumph, proclaiming to all in attendance that it was given him by his dead father Osiris, in the presence of the earth-god Geb. 'I have run', he cries, 'holding the Secret of the Two Partners, the Will that my father has given me before Geb. I have passed through the land and touched the four sides of it. I traverse it as I desire.'

... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...
