Which in a way hardly was mysterious, because in Babylonian times the northern spring equinox was not in Aries but in the Bull.

However, neither did the Arabs list Bharani. But her presence was obvious, because the exact position of 41 Arietis (41.4 as in day 414 = 13 * 29½ + 1) determined the order in their list up to and including the Mane of the Lion.

Indeed I therefore used the fraction 0.4 in order to list stars and glyphs in a rather perfect parallel order. However, with Zosma and Coxa there came a dramatic change:

Here the Sun had to turn around, which we can observe in the flow of time from Chalchihuitzli:

'

And probably the twisted torso of the Sun King 'Tree' was also the motif Hevelius used on his first shield on Argo Navis:

Atea changed her sex here and in form of Mercury (Hiro) took over from Jupiter.

... Atea then became the wife of Rua-tupua-nui, Source of Great Growth, and they became the parents of all the celestial beings, first the shooting stars, then the Moon and the Sun, next the comets, then the multitude of stars and constellations, and finally the bright and dark nebulae. When this tremendous task had been accomplished Atea took a third husband, Fa'a-hotu, Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event. Whether Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we are not told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the eyes of Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west ...

A column of water which absurdly rises spinning on itself was connected with the first night of the Moon, the night of Hiro:

Hiro 1. A deity invoked when praying for rain (meaning uncertain). 2. To twine tree fibres (hauhau, mahute) into strings or ropes. Ohirohiro, waterspout (more exactly pú ohirohiro), a column of water which rises spinning on itself. Vanaga. To spin, to twist. P Mgv.: hiro, iro, to make a cord or line in the native manner by twisting on the thigh. Mq.: fió, hió, to spin, to twist, to twine. Ta.: hiro, to twist. This differs essentially from the in-and-out movement involved in hiri 2, for here the movement is that of rolling on the axis of length, the result is that of spinning. Starting with the coir fiber, the first operation is to roll (hiro) by the palm of the hand upon the thigh, which lies coveniently exposed in the crosslegged sedentary posture, two or three threads into a cord; next to plait (hiri) three or other odd number of such cords into sennit. Hirohiro, to mix, to blend, to dissolve, to infuse, to inject, to season, to streak with several colors; hirohiro ei paatai, to salt. Hirohiroa, to mingle; hirohiroa ei vai, diluted with water. Churchill. Ta.: Hiro, to exaggerate. Ha.: hilohilo, to lengthen a speech by mentioning little circumstances, to make nice oratorial language. Churchill. Whiro 'Steals-off-and-hides'; also [in addition to the name of Mercury] the universal name for the 'dark of the Moon' or the first day of the lunar month; also the deity of sneak thieves and rascals. Makemson.

This important cardinal point ought to be found also in the C text, and from our secured position of Alycone (Temennu) at Cb2-6 we should therefore count 258 (September 15) - 136 (May 16) = 122 glyphs ahead:

The turned around head of the bird at the Arabs' station Al Sarfah (Turn) confirms the position. Here Metoro did not say manu rere but reversed the order into rere te manu.

... The normal orientation of a glyph ... is with its 'face' towards right. Time flows along with the text, and the events unfold from left to right, and it is only natural for the glyphs to 'look ahead'. The reversed 'persons', those which are looking back, can be imagined to have no future, as if they were old people. This statement of mine is, though, just a help to remember what the sign of reversal means, viz. to show where the described events are ending. If not a full stop, then at least a comma ...

At Denebola (β Leonis) there was a conjunction with Alaraph (β Virginis). The Lion became the Virgin.
