Both Ron & Mike have got it almost right it seems..

If you intend to make a ceiling (or any other kind of dial) by connecting
the hour points shown by the shadow of the nodus on at least two of the four
days when EOT equals zero, then you would have a perfectly good dial that is
automatically corrected for longitude.  Wouldn't you?

The two best days to mark the location of the nodus's shadow would be those
dates that produce the longest lines when connected. ei. dates close to the
solstices. Those dates would be December 25 and June 14.
