There's a bit of history behind this...
The tentative reading of (Eva) doary or doaro as Taurus is a very old one. Unfortunately, I can't trace back who first suggested it (wasn't me). Stephen used it as part of his theory.
In general, one should not expect to find many Latin (or Greek) words by simple substitution of readings from the MS. However, there are words that don't follow the word structure, so one could hypothesise that such words could be some phonetic rendering of a common name, while the rest of the text follows 'some as yet unknown system'.
doary doesn't really follow the structure, so it could be.... It's as good a hypothesis as many others.
