The ancient Greeks did not use a "BC" system.
Instead, they knew Aristotle lived in the 4th century BC through continuous historical records, public archives, and overlapping timelines tied to famous rulers and civic events.

After Christ was born all it took for the "Greeks" to know would be for two at a minimum to know.

There was no BC, years were associated with local magistrates, officials, etc. Then much later, historians collected these "translation" tables and created matrixes that did the proper translations.
