100. My idea of a pattern with a chain of links measuring *16 right ascension hours might instead has to be chained into a chain of links measuring *8:

The creator of the G text has pointed out (with a little dot in front at λ Andromedae) the importance of glyph number 64 (→ 8 * 8 → 4 * 16) on side b of the tablet, the place at the tip of the forefinger on the right hand of Andromeda. This was (when using the current Gregorian calendar as a map for the Golden Era of the Bull) at JANUARY 8, corresponding to day 8 ( 8 + 64 = 72 = 80 - 8)  before March 21.

... Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years) ...

The chain holding her right hand (Manus Catenata, *358) was evidently secured at ο Andromedae (*348), which star might allude to ο Piscium (*20):

 ... Another name for Mercury was Hermes and Hermes Trismegisthos (thrice-mighty) could have referred to the fact that there were 3.141 * 115.88 = 364.0 days for the cycle of the Earth around the Sun. Although the calendar has 365 days for a year this is due to the fact that the Earth has to turn around an extra day in order to compensate for how the direction to the Sun changes during a year ...
