... γ, 4.1, greenish, on the right arm at the inner edge of the Urn, and the westernmost [?] star in the Y,
is Sadachbia, from Al Sa'd al Ahbiyah, which has been interpreted the Lucky Star of Hidden Things or Hiding-places, because when it emerged from the sun's rays all hidden worms and reptiles, buried during the preceding cold, creep out of their holes!
But as this word Ah Biyah is merely the plural of Hibā', a Tent, a more reasonable explanation is that the star was so called from its rising in the spring twilight, when, after the winter's want and suffering, the nomads' tents were raised on the freshening pastures, and the pleasent weather set in. This idea renders Professor Whitney's 'Felicity of Tents' a happy translation of the original. ζ, η, and π are included with γ under this designation by Ulug Beg - ζ, in the centre marking the top of the tent; Kazwini, however, considering this central star as Al Sa'd, and the three surrounding ones his tents ... |
Number 168 was evidently important anciently:
... Day 168 (at Betelgeuze, Ana-varu) = 2 * 84 = 24 weeks. The Julian equinox was day 84 counted from January 1. Counting 84 days from 0h, at the time of rongorongo, would put us at the heliacal Pillar of Exit (Ana-iva, α Columbae). And at the time of Gregory XIII Ana-iva would have risen with the Sun 4 days earlier, viz. in day 80 from 0h (and in day 160 from the beginning of the year). The month of Father Light (Sun as Jupiter) began in day 161, in June 10.
We can recognize the Turtle not only by the pattern on its back but also by its curious tail (to be contrasted by the tail of the Lion creature). And below Aries is the figure which comes at left in the constellation band description. And below Taurus is the bird which comes in its center, as number 3 of 6. Furthermore, the dots in the Sun creature below Leo probably identifies it as the Jaguar - who corresponded to the Lion in the Land of the Mayas ...
