Essentially: if you can form a number-based hypothesis based on the 
contents of any of the VMS' cosmological diagrams that doesn't break down 
on the very next page (or even elsewhere on the same page), you're doing 
very, very well! :-/

Not a great deal, IIRC. :-|

FWIW, D'Imperio did think that the VMS could probably be placed and dated 
based on the hats, tiaras and head-dresses on the nymphs, though - which I 
certainly believe is true (and currently unchecked, despite my wife being a 
milliner). :-)
