101. If the ancient rule was to
wait for the return to visibility of the relevant stars, which as
a rule of thumb could be expected to be 16 days, then the star
at heliacal spring equinox (March 20, 79) would be expected to
become visible again in day 79 + 16 =
95.

Day 95 ought to correspond to April 5.
But instead we should presumably use the Gregorian view and then
March 21 (0h) + 16 becomes April 6

located *16 + *16 = *32 right ascension days after

... It was 4 August 1968, and
it was the feast day of Saint Dominic, patron of
Santo Domingo Pueblo, southwest of Santa Fe. At
one end of the hot, dusty plaza, a Dominican
priest watched nervously as several hundred
dancers arranged in two long rows pounded the
earth with their moccasined feet as a mighty,
collective prayer [ui] for rain,
accompanied by the powerful baritone singing of
a chorus and the beat of drums. As my family and
I viewed this, the largest and in some ways the
most impressive Native American public ceremony,
a tiny cloud over the Jémez Mountains to the
northwest got larger and larger, eventually
filling up the sky; at last the storm broke, and
the sky was crisscrossed by lightning and the
pueblo resounded with peals of rolling thunder
...
... The life-force of the
earth is water. God moulded the earth with
water. Blood too he made out of water. Even in a
stone there is this force, for there is moisture
in everything. But if Nummo is water, it also
produces copper. When the sky is overcast, the
sun's rays may be seen materializing on the
misty horizon. These rays, excreted by the
spirits, are of copper and are light. They are
water too, because they uphold the earth's
moisture as it rises. The Pair excrete light,
because they are also light ... 'The sun's
rays,' he went on, 'are fire and the Nummo's
excrement. It is the rays which give the sun its
strength. It is the Nummo who gives life to this
star, for the sun is in some sort a star.' It
was difficult to get him to explain what he
meant by this obscure statement. The Nazarene
made more than one fruitless effort to
understand this part of the cosmogony; he could
not discover any chink or crack through which to
apprehend its meaning. He was moreover
confronted with identifications which no
European, that is, no average rational European,
could admit. He felt himself humiliated, though
not disagreeably so, at finding that his
informant regarded fire and water as
complementary, and not as opposites. The rays of
light and heat draw the water up, and also cause
it to descend again in the form of rain. That is
all to the good. The movement created by this
coming and going is a good thing. By means of
the rays the Nummo draws out, and gives back the
life-force. This movement indeed makes life

In this day - when Regulus culminated at 21h - the Sun
would reach the Girdle of Andromeda (i.e. her
midline at *16.0):
Lower down to be seen in the sky´was the constellation of Pisces with

Anciently they would here have looked for the return
to visibility of Sirrah at the time when the Sun would be at
heliacal Mirach (β
in Anunitú), but currently they instead ought
to
think of how the Sun here reached Revati in Pisces.
And here - in
March 8 (67) AD 2023 - was
the place for the evening planet Venus:
Anunitum (τ)
is *16 days after Sirrah at the Topknot of Andromeda - and
half a day after φ (at the
Knee of her Right
Leg) together with β (the star at her Girdle,
Mirach, β):
This
- the star τ in
Anunitú = τ Piscium (together with φ and β)
- was
evidently where the ancient Mesopotamians
had placed their Field Measure (1-Iku). Because
here the final of the Square would come into view
and Mother Earth return to Life.

Φ(φ) |
... is the 21st
letter of the Greek alphabet ... Its
origin is uncertain but it may be
that phi originated as the letter
qoppa ... In traditional Greek
numerals, phi has a value of 500 or
500000 ...
Isaac
Taylor, History of the Alphabet:
Semitic Alphabets, Part 1, 2003:
'The old explanation, which has
again been revived by Halévy, is
that it denotes an 'ape,' the
character Q being taken to
represent an ape with its tail
hanging down. It may also be
referred to a Talmudic root which
would signify an 'aperture' of some
kind, as the 'eye of a needle,' ...
Lenormant adopts the more usual
explanation that the word means a
'knot' ...
... The king, wearing now a short,
stiff archaic mantle, walks in a
grave and stately manner to the
sanctuary of the wolf-god Upwaut,
the 'Opener of the Way', where he
anoints the sacred standard and,
preceded by this, marches to the
palace chapel, into which he
disappears. A period of time elapses
during which the pharaoh is no
longer manifest.
When he reappears he is clothed as
in the Narmer palette, wearing the
kilt with Hathor belt and
bull's tail attatched. In his right
hand he holds the flail scepter and
in his left, instead of the usual
crook of the Good Shepherd, an
object resembling a small scroll,
called the Will, the House Document,
or Secret of the Two Partners, which
he exhibits in triumph, proclaiming
to all in attendance that it was
given him by his dead father
Osiris, in the presence of the
earth-god Geb. 'I have run',
he cries, 'holding the Secret of the
Two Partners, the Will that my
father has given me before Geb.
I have passed through the land and
touched the four sides of it. I
traverse it as I desire.' ...

In Plato's Timaeus,
it is explained that the two bands that
form the soul of the world cross each
other like the letter Χ.
Roman
XII = 12 → XIII = 13, with the Nose in
between - and later, after the Mouth,
the cycle would begin anew (I).
Chi or X is often used
to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the
holiday Christmas (Xmas). When fused
within a single typespace with the Greek
letter Rho, it is called the labarum and
used to represent the person of Jesus
Christ. (Wikipedia)
... tau is the
19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In
the system of Greek numerals it has a
value of 300 ... Taw is believed
to be derived from the Egyptian
hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...
Taw, Tav
or Taf is the twenty-second and
last letter in many Semitic abjads ...
In gematria Tav represents the
number 400, the largest single number
that can be represented without using
the Sophit forms ...
'From Aleph to
Taf' describes something from
beginning to end; the Hebrew equivalent
of the English 'From A to Z' ...
Tav is the last
letter of the Hebrew word emet,
which means truth. The midrash explains
that emet is made up of the
first, middle, and last letters of the
Hebrew alphabet (Aleph, Mem,
and Tav...).
Sheqer (falsehood), on the other
hand, is made up of the 19th, 20th, and
21st (and penultimate) letters.
Thus, truth is
all-encompassing, while falsehood is
narrow and deceiving. In Jewish
mythology it was the word emet
that was carved into the head of the
Golem which ultimately gave it life.
But when the letter 'aleph' was erased
from the Golem's forehead, what
was left was 'met' - dead. And so
the Golem died ... (Wikipedia)
