No, the markings are elevation. That is, the angle upwards from horizontal that the dish is pointing. Try with the nut lined up to 23.5 degrees.
You can't always rely on the scales on dishes though, to be honest I normally completely ignore any numbers on there and just use the markings to know how far I've moved it when adjusting.
