There are also drawings of "vein man", that are similar to "zodiac man", which show locations for blood.

I don't have time to grab examples, I've been up all night have to work now, but they're not too hard to find if one is aware that they exist.

JKP, a brief and promising follow-up on the good/bad days for bloodletting, etc., in the individual month and day Zodiac charts:

The Greek word for "no" is "okhi" (sometimes transcribed "ochi"; the consonant is hard like the end of "Bach"). The Byzantine forms were the same. The Ancient Greek forms were "oukhi" or "ouki" or "oukh" or "ouk" or just "ou".

If you look for example on the Zodiac page You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. 1, you will see just in the inner ring of 5 nymphs/days, that 3 of the 5 labels begin with [ote], and a 4th one begins with [ot].

My system interprets Voynich [ote] as Greek "oki" or "okhi".

According to this interpretation, each day's label is saying something like "don't do this thing on this day", then "don't do that thing on that day", then "don't do this other thing on this other day", etc., etc., etc.
