45. → 360º / 8 → 225 (August 13) - 45 (February 14) = 360 / 2 → 180º.

The text on the A (Tahua) tablet has in Aa6-66 a picture which seems to illustrate a 'Spout'. (→ Inky Pinky Spider climbing up the Spout.)

e he goe kua moe

Goe refers to the Milky Way (river of migrating souls).

... Men's spirits were thought to dwell in the Milky Way between incarnations. This conception has been handed down as an Orphic and Pythagorean tradition fitting into the frame of the migration of the soul. Macrobius, who has provided the broadest report on the matter, has it that souls ascend by way of Capricorn, and then, in order to be reborn, descend again through the 'Gate of Cancer' ...

Counted from Ab1-1 the glyph number for Aa6-66 is 670 + 482 = 1152 (→ 24 * 48) = 1334 - 182. And 664 (side a) - 482 = 182.

If Aa6-66 should coincide with *8 (at Schedir, the Breast of Cassiopeia), then we ought to find right ascension day *8 + *182 = *190 (= the day before Porrima) to be at the last glyph on side a.

Aa6-66 (482, 1152)

... In late September or early October 130, Hadrian and his entourage, among them Antinous, assembled at Heliopolis to set sail upstream as part of a flotilla along the River Nile. The retinue included officials, the Prefect, army and naval commanders, as well as literary and scholarly figures. Possibly also joining them was Lucius Ceionius Commodus, a young aristocrat whom Antinous might have deemed a rival to Hadrian's affections. On their journey up the Nile, they stopped at Hermopolis Magna, the primary shrine to the god Thoth. It was shortly after this, in October [in the year A.D.] 130 - around the time of the festival of Osiris - that Antinous fell into the river and died, probably from drowning. Hadrian publicly announced his death, with gossip soon spreading throughout the Empire that Antinous had been intentionally killed ...

The arrow of Antinous points at the severed left arm of Aquarius:
