Allen:
"The Arabians called these [ω¹ and ω²] Jabhat al Aķrab, the Forehead, or Front, of the Scorpion; and the Chinese Kow Kin, a Hook and Latch."
"σ ... and τ ... were Al Niyāţ, the Praecordia, or Outworks of the Heart, on either side of, and, as it were, protecting, Antares, the Heart of the Scorpion. Knobel in his translation of Al Achsasi's work, explains the word as 'the vein which suspends the heart'!"
Perhaps this was known by the creator of the G text:

"In China the 2d-magnitude star ε, with μ, ζ, η, θ, ι, κ, υ, and λ, formed the 17th sieu, Wei, the Tail, anciently known as Mi and as Vi, μ being the determinant; but, although this Tail coincided with that part of our Scorpion, Brown thinks that reference is rather made to the tail of the Azure Dragon, one of the quadripartite divisions of the Chinese zodiac which lay here."
