The beginning of the C text is probably meant to be not only at March 22 but also at Saad Al Akhbia 1:

The mysterious cycle of 372 here disappears, because 372 - 7 (Ca1-7) = 365 measures the number of days from March 28 in an ordinary year to March 27 in a leap year.

We have come the year around. But should we put in stars in line Ca1 they will be about one day off their courses, because the next year is a leap year:

March 24 + 183 = 448 and 448 - 365 + 183 = 83 + 183 = 266, the day after the September equinox.

Dschuba 12 (130) can be compared with May 10 (130) and the helical rising of Algenib Pegasi (March 24) with the heliacal rising of Algenib Persei (May 10). 266 - 136 = 130.

Algenib Pegasi is γ, at the last corner of the Pegasus Square:
