I was confused. In the last astronomical image that I put the letter p does not mean part. I don't think it means principium either. It most likely means puncta, which was a measure of time equivalent to a quarter of an hour.
Indeed, it may be that the superscript symbol c has nothing to do with the symbol for the Moon. But it doesn't seem like an abbreviation either, since puncta was also abbreviated as pta and there is also a c above the hour column.
Too much confusion. It deserves a closer study
