Maybe we need the Babylonian ecliptic stations. From
their 16th such, the 4th Son behind the King (Maru-sha-arkat-Sharru),
up to and including the Virgin's Girdle (Sa-Sha-Shirū),
their 20th ecliptic constellation,
there were 45 days:

... Like the names of most other
Greek letters, the name of beta
was adopted from the acrophonic
name of the corresponding letter
in Phoenician, which was the
common Semitic word *bayt
('house').
In the system of Greek numerals
beta had a value of 2. |

"... The building of new
'houses' was obviously the
result of (male) births in the
royal family. In each case, the
house that was built last is
left to the newborn son and his
mother, together with a specific
servant, while the king has a
new and separate residence
constructed for himself ..." (The

in the same day as Revati (ζ Piscium). At midnight
Regulus (α Leonis) culminated whereas Sadalmelik (α
Aquarii) culminated when Spica rose heliacally.
From October 9
(282) up to and including April 6 (461) there were
180 days. I.e. between the Girdle of Andromeda and
the
Girdle of Virgo there should be 185 days:

The northern
summer is shorter than the southern summer and
therefore the southern summer could have been
measured from the Full Moon positions of Mirach and
Spica rather than from their heliacal positions. But
I have used their heliacal positions.
The first week
beyond heliacal Spica reached nakshatra Sheratan
(β Arietis), i.e. reached to the Front of the Head of Ku
(Mahrū-sha-rishu-ku):
