490. When the Pope Gregory XIII
updated the Julian calendar he changed the date for
spring equinox from day 84 to day 80, although the
astronomically more adequate date was
day 79 (when the majority of equinoxes occurred).
There were 5 days from Polaris to Hamal and there
were 5 days from 79 to 84.

... Strassmeier and
Epping, in their
Astronomishes aus
Babylon, say
that there its stars
formed the third of
the twenty-eight
ecliptic
constellations, -
Arku-sha-rishu-ku,
literally the Back
of the Head of Ku, -
which had been
established along
that great circle
milleniums before
our era; and
Lenormant quotes, as
an individual title
from cuneiform
inscriptions,
Dil-kar, the
Proclaimer of Dawn,
that Jensen reads
As-kar, and
others Dil-gan,
the Messenger of
Light. George Smith
inferred from the
tablets that it
might be the Star
of the Flocks;
while other
Euphratean names
have been Lu-lim,
or Lu-nit,
the Ram's Eye; and
Si-mal or
Si-mul, the Horn
star, which came
down even to late
astrology as the
Ram's Horn. It
also was Anuv,
and had its
constellation's
titles I-ku
and I-ku-u, -
by abbreviation
Ku, - the
Prince, or the
Leading One, the Ram
that led the
heavenly flock, some
of íts titles at a
different date being
applied to Capella
of Auriga. Brown
associates it with
Aloros, the
first of the ten
mythical kings of
Akkad anterior to
the Deluge, the
duration of whose
reigns
proportionately
coincided with the
distances apart of
the ten chief
ecliptic stars
beginning with
Hamal, and he
deduces from this
kingly title the
Assyrian Ailuv,
and hence the Hebrew
Ayil; the
other stars
corresponding to the
other mythical kings
being Alcyone,
Aldebaran, Pollux,
Regulus, Spica,
Antares, Algenib,
Deneb Algedi, and

When the glyph type hau tea
had an 'eye' (mata) also at left it probably
indicated a point of turning around, similar to how
Aries (like Janus) turned his head around:
The Head of Ku was oriented
towards the left, but 'April, Ayil(?),
was in front and dawn had to be proclaimed.
The same hau tea was repeated

... The
leap day
was
introduced
as part
of the
Julian
reform.
The day
following
the
Terminalia
(February
23) was
doubled,
forming
the 'bis

-
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').
Although
exceptions
exist,
the
first
day of
the
bis
sextum
(February
24) was
usually
regarded
as the
intercalated
or
'bissextile'
day
since
the
third
century.
February
29 came
to be
regarded
as the
leap day
when the
