As we have seen, it is now acknowledged that the temple inscriptions at Edfû (which are stated to have been cut between 117 and 81 B.C.[81]) are based upon the fixed year of Tanis; hence we should expect that the rising of Sirius would be referred to on 1 Payni, and this is so. But here, as in the other temples, we get double dates referring to the old calendars, and we find the "wounding of Set" referred to on the 1st Epiphi and the rising of Sirius referred to under 1 Mesori. Now this means, if the old vague year is referred to, as it most probably is, that 5 Epacts 30 Mesori ── 35 × 4 = 140 years had elapsed since the beginning of a Sothic cycle, when the calendar coincidences were determined, which were afterwards inscribed on the temple walls. We have, then, 140 years to subtract from the beginning of the cycle in 270 B.C. This gives us 130 B.C., and it will be seen that this agrees as closely as can be expected with my view, whereas the inscription has no meaning at all if we take the date given by Censorinus. I quote from Krall[82] another inscription common to Edfû and Esne, which seems to have astronomical significance. "1. Phamenoth. Festival of the suspension of the sky by Ptah, by the side of the god Harschaf, the master of Heracleopolis Magna (Al). Festival of Ptah. Feast of the suspension of the sky (Es). "Under the 1st Phamenoth, Plutarch, _de Iside et Osiride_, c. 43, b, notices the ἔμβασις Ὀσίριδος εἰς τὴν σελὴνην. These are festivals connected with the celebration of the Winter Solstice, and the filling of the Uza-eye on the 30th Menchir. Perhaps the old year, which the Egyptians introduced into the Nile valley at the time of their immigration, and which had only 360 days, commenced with the Winter Solstice. Thus we should have in the 'festival of the suspension of the sky,' by the ancient god Ptah--venerated as creator of the world--a remnant of the time when the Winter Solstice ... marked the beginning of the year, and also the creation." The reconstruction of the calendar naturally enhanced the importance of the month Pachons; this comes out very clearly from the inscriptions translated by Brugsch. On this point Krall remarks:--
