I have assumed the name Tau-ono refers to the 6 first to rise of the more prominent stars in the star cluster.
But I guess the creator of the G text counted with the heliacal rising of 'the followers', the 3 even more important stars Alcyone, Pleione, and Atlas, when he defined the point of reference for counting 8 days to May 24.
Counting from the previous January 1 these 6 stars (Tau-ono) were returning after 500 days:
464 (Gb8-22) - 329 = 135 and 135 + 365 = 500.
