Although 263 nights is the observed period both between Venus as morning star and evening star respectively the reverse, the drawn down front in Gb3-30 should indicate the arrival of darkness (evening):

At the time of the Hyades Gate the 'mother star' Bharani rose with the Sun in FEBRUARY 26, twice 29 nights counted from DECEMBER 31. FEBRUARY 27, which was day 58 + 365 = 423 counted from the previous JANUARY 1, was perhaps alluded to by 4-23.
Counting ahead from heliacal Bharani at Gb4-22 to heliacal
Bharani at Gb8-29 means moving ahead 470 - 342 = 128 (twice 64) steps:

With heliacal Bharani at JULY 4 (185) - the 4th day of the 2nd half of the year - a symmetry should make heliacal Bharani at FEBRUARY 26 (57) the 4th day of the 1st half of the year. I.e. 57 - 4 = 53 (Gb4-18) could be at the end of the year (counted from JANUARY 1). 53 + 183 = 236 (= 8 * 29½).
... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day').
Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ...
