161. Let's repeat and assemble into an overview the basic facts so far discussed regarding niu in the C text. There are 14 such glyphs and 11 of them are describing a pattern with the Water-jar of Aquarius in the center and the Sting of the Scorpion at the end:

The difference in precessional time depth between the Pope and Julius Caesar was *27 - *4 = *23.

... 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 ...

740 (total number of glyphs on the C tablet) - 377 = 363 (= 3 * 121). And 377 - 23 = 354 (= 12 * 29½).
