Hassaba ḥəgg in BLorient9798 is described as the follows:
<msItem xml:id="ms_i3">
<locus from="50r" to="56v"/>
<title ref="LIT0000000000000000000">Calendar of the movable feasts (Ḥasaba ḥǝgg)</title>
<note>A kind of perpetual calendar based on the great lunar cycle of 532 years. The columns contain:
(1) <foreign xml:lang="gez">አው፡ ቀመ፡ </foreign>, (2) <foreign xml:lang="gez">ዓው፡ ዐመ፡ </foreign>,
(3) <foreign xml:lang="gez">ዕጥ፡ ለን፡</foreign>, (4) <foreign xml:lang="gez">አበቅቴ፡ </foreign>,
(5) <foreign xml:lang="gez">መጥቅዕ፡ </foreign>, (6) <foreign xml:lang="gez">ነነዌ፡ </foreign>,
(7) <foreign xml:lang="gez">በዓተ፡ ጾም፡</foreign>, (8) <foreign xml:lang="gez">ፍሥሕ፡</foreign>,
(9) <foreign xml:lang="gez">ፋሲካ፡</foreign>. In the left margin historical notes (<foreign xml:lang="gez">ታሪክ፡</foreign>)
are added. They seem to be written by at least two different hands at different times. The last note concerns the death of
the Emperor <persName ref="PRS00000000000000000000">Theodore (Tewodros) (1860, i.e. 1868 AD)</persName>.
That event is mentioned under the year <date when-custom="523" calendar="0000000000000">523</date> based on the
Era of the Martyrs.</note>
<textLang mainLang="gez" otherLangs="am"/>
</msItem>
To me it seems like that text in BLorient9798 is rather a third work. None of the others seems to be a table, like the one in BLorient9798 seems to be, based on Strelcyn's description. I would rather suggest creating a third Hassaba Hegg record.
OK. I will create a new LIT record.
I found a Hassaba Hegg in BLorient9798. Just only the heads of the columns are given by Strelcyn. On this basis and without images, it is impossible to decide, whether it is probably LIT6957HassabaHegg (witnessed in BLorient13269, not available and only known by the incipit, that does not match) or LIT6563HassabHeg (witnessed in BNFabb96, where I can not see any tables or columns in the images).
I think we need a general ID for Ḥassāba ḥəgg, that we cannot identify.
