According to my experiences from studying the G text I have noticed that a day of birth often is free from prominent stars rising with the Sun. There are no heliacal stars listed between Algenib Persei and the Pleiades.
The Pleiades came later and later in the year as counted from 0h. At the time when Goat (Haedus II) was at 0h the first stars of the Pleiades rose 345 days after 0h, in ●MARCH 1. 75 precessional days later the first 6 (ono) stars of the Pleiades (Tau-ono) rose with the Sun in May 15 (136 days counted from December 31).
Different was the method to count from heliacal Sirius, because precession did not seem to change its position from June 30 all through the ages (at least could this have been a simplified assumption). In the last nights of December Sirius was always close to the Full Moon:

Therefore the distance from heliacal Alcyone to heliacal Sirius became shorter and shorter, creating problems for the calendar makers:
