The center of this diagrams is a synthetic scheme of the sky (I cannot identify one of the three components, but the other two clearly are the Sun and the Moon). The seven planets and the four elements are represented around the central circle.
There are the signs of the Zodiac as well and the third component looks like one of the Zodiac symbols to me, is it Capricorn?
Thank you Helmut. In Harley 2407 it could look like the glyph of Virgo or Scorpio. But from Egerton 845 I think it could read [s]atur[nus]. If so, Harley 2407 could be a very abbreviated s[atur]n9. I am not familiar with the superscript "S" that appears in both manuscripts, so I am not sure if "Saturnus" could make sense. I have also thought of ar[c]tur[us], but this does not include the superscript "S".
In my opinion, the relevance of these diagrams for Rene's argument is only the presence of the seven planets arranged around something that could represent the sky. I know it is not a strong parallel and the presence of the zodiac signs makes it even weaker.
PS: maybe m[er]cur[ius] is a better option and Harely 2407 has just the initial "m" with an abbreviation sign.
