Beyond Aldebaran there were no following stars of importance in Taurus for a while, and therefore in a way Ana-muri indeed was the star at the end:

Muri

The rear, that which comes last; a muri, future; a muri noa atu, never; i muri, afterward, henceforth, hereafter; i muri oo na, to accompany; ki muri, after, future, henceforth, then, final; o muri, last. Churchill.

The stars of the date "October 17 (290) - when e.g. Aldebaran, in the time of Bharani and in the night of "April 17 (107), was visible close to the Full Moon -  were 210 days (7 months) after the stars of "March 21 and I guess the following 10 glyphs, ending with "October 27 (300) possibly should be read together as a unit.

107 ("April 17) + 366 = 473 and *210 ("October 17) + 80 = 290 = 473 - 183.

300 ("October 27) + 366 = 666 and *403 ("April 27) + 80 = 483 = 300 + 183.

"October 27 (300) was 27 days after "September 30 (273) and 27 can be expressed as 13 + 14. Counting 13 days backwards from the end of side b means searching for the stars which rose with the Sun after "April 13 (103) - 13 = 90 ("March 31). These could mark the end of the previous year, with "April 1 as the first day of those 27 days which would end when Thuban culminated at midnight:
