The proof, therefore, that the theory advanced in regard to the order and the plan of the series is correct seems to be conclusive. This probably would have been conceded without the repeated additions given, but these were deemed necessary because of several irregularities found in that portion running through Plates 53_a_-58_a_, which constitutes the first half of the series. Turning back to our Table VIII, representing that part of the series on Plate 53_a_, we will consider the three lines of black numerals above the day columns, discussing the irregularities as we proceed. The numbers in the first column are 7/17,[TN-6] or, according to the explanation given, 7 months and 17 days. There is apparently a mistake here, the correct numbers being 8 months and 17 days, as it is the usual custom of the codex to commence numeral series with the prevailing interval; moreover this correction, which has also been made by Dr. Förstemann, is necessary in order to connect rightly with what follows; the counters under this first column require this correction, as they are 8 months, 17 days. Making this change we proceed with the addition. Years. Months. Days. 8 17 First column, Plate 53_a_ (corrected). 8 17 -- -- 17 14 Second column. Plate 53_a_.
