The picture represents a human form, which has in place of a head a design somewhat resembling the head of a lance. It is sitting with legs spread apart, and in this respect may be compared with god B of Cort. 9, who is represented in the same way. In the picture before us, the figure holds in its upraised hands the sun and moon signs, which are constantly repeated throughout the series. The Venus sign is placed between the outspread legs. In the rectangle above the figure, this sign is repeated in a more concise form, while on the left the cross _b_ appears as the sign of union or multiplication, and on the right that of Jupiter, whose period of revolution is here multiplied by 30 (30 × 398 = 11,940). And the two Venus signs can mean nothing more than that this period of 11,960 also serves the purpose of filling up the gap between the two large Venus-solar periods of 37,960 days, like the similar process which we saw on pages 46-50. We have examined first the series and then the pictures with the hieroglyphs belonging to them. Let us pass now, as the third step, to the examination of the two rows of hieroglyphs extending above the numbers throughout the whole section. First of all, I will again set down here the position of each of the sixty-nine groups:-- Page 51. | 52. | 53. | 54. 31.32.33.34.35.36.|37.38.39.40.| 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.| 7. 8. 9.10.11.12.13. | |41.42. 43.44. 45. |46.47.48.49.50. Page 55. | 56. | 57. | 58. 14.15.16.17.18. |19.20.21.22.|23.24.25.26. |27.28.29.30. 51.52.53.54.56.57.58.|59.60.61.62.|63.64.65.66.67.|68.69. Since each group contains two hieroglyphs, this makes 138. in all. Of these, however, about 24 on the upper halves of the pages, are wholly or almost wholly effaced which very materially hinders the trustworthy determination of the context. Furthermore group 59 is entirely lacking or rather group 58, in the place of which the 59th has been set down. The eighth picture was probably already drawn, when the artist saw that there was not room enough left for the 58th and 59th groups. Hence he omitted the 58th, setting down in place of it the 59th and in the place of the latter he set down the zero mentioned above. The question now arises:--Are these hieroglyphs dependent upon the days and numbers of the series and upon the pictures, or are they entirely independent of them? I find but _one_ point in favor of the first possibility, viz:--the Venus sign in group 4b (I will designate the upper hieroglyphs by _a_ and the lower by _b_). It is placed in the period indicated in which 502-679 days elapse, and in which, therefore, Venus has finished a revolution of 584 days. It may be, that by way of exception, this significant date was intentionally recorded.
