Again, I am not insisting this implication is muchrach, but look
at the mishnah (Megillah 3:4):
    RC Adar that falls out on Shabbos, we read P Sheqalim...
    On the 2nd, Zakhor
    On the 3rd, Parah Adumah
    On the 4th, "HaChodesh haZeh Lakhem"
    On the 5th, we return to the sequence...

The Ran (quoted by Tosafos YT) only discussed "basheini" saying it's the
2nd week after Sheqalim or after the break described in the ellipses at
the end of the first line of my "translation".

:> Aqdamus is a legacy of the triennial cycle.

: How so?

The opening words are "As a preface to the words and the beginning
of speach..."

Modern translations often insert a bracketed text to force it into
referring to the Diberos. Despite being said before describing BY
beneath Har Sinai, well before the actual 10 Diberos he would be saying
he is prefacing.

In any case the more natural meaning is that it's the actual beginning
of all the Milin as a whole. Aqdamus was written to introduce "Beqadmn
bera H'..."

Tir'u baTov!
