DB-1B in hexidecmal is=219-27=192=C0 // Cancel clue. Correct typing had the 1 in 1B replaced with an I. Hexadecimal not possible.
fi(0): Might mean f<i (f sub i).
T-1319: Angle of a clock at 13:19 is 74.5 |0.5*(60*1+19)-6*19|, or 255.5 |0.5*(60*13+19)-6*19|

"At Phaethon's Reach"
"follow the Path of Souls"
Phaethon's Reach and Path of Souls:
Phaethon took the reins of a chariot of the sun, but could not control it, so Zeus struck him down with lightning. Phaethon's body fell into Eridanus, also known as the Path of Souls. Eridanus is a constellation made up of 24 main stars, 87 Bayer/Flamsteed stars. The "Eridanus Route" starts from Cursa, also known as Beta Eridani, and ends at Achernar.
Using this image (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Eridanus_IAU.svg/1200px-Eridanus_IAU.svg.png), star 29 is Chi Eridani, which exists in Elite and seems to be accurate to the actual system.
Phi Eridani is star 29 on other maps (http://www.dibonsmith.com/eri_con.gif), and is a trinary system. This could meant that it is the target system, as 29c would refer to the 29th system en-route, third star.
Phaethon had 4 potential mothers, one of which was Merope.
Phaethon's constellation is Auriga.
3200 Phaethon is an asteroid with a very close orbit to the sun. Orbit is elliptical.
