backward, as I indicated above, are the ones encircled with red. Let 

 us now examine all of the 20 numbers. 



Page 24. The large numbers, 1,366,5()0 and 1,.364,.360; the difference of 

 the two, 2,200, encircled with red : the first day is a IV 17, the second a 

 I 17, and both days are actually recorded on the lower edge. 



Page 31. 1,272,.544, encircled number 121 ; hence the day 1,272,42.3 is 

 intended; that is, a day XIII 20. and the latter date is actually recorded 

 above it. 



Page 31. 1,268,540, a cir<:le ai'ound 17 ; hence, 1,268,523 ; hence again, 

 XIII 20, which date is also repeated here. 



Page 31. 1,.538,.342 (I read, not 10, 13, 3, 13, 2, but 10, 1.3, 1.3, 3, 2), a 

 circle around 51,419, as was explained above; consequently, 1,486,923; 

 again, XIII 20, which day is also recorded here. 



Page 43. 1,435,980, a circle around 352 ; consequently, 1,435,628=111 5, 

 as written above. 



Page 45. 1,278,420. a circle around 30; therefore, 1.278,.390=XIII 7, 

 which is recorded below. 



Page 58. Two large numbers, 1,426,360 and 1,386,.580, a circle around 

 511 ; consequently. 1,425.849 and 1,386,0()9, the two=XIII 6. which date is 

 actually recorded on the page. 



Page 62. 1,272,921, a cii'cle around 4.56 ; consequently, 1,272.465^111 2, 

 which stands between. 



Page 62. 1,272,.544, a circle around 121; hence, l,272,423=xni 20, 

 which likewise stands between, as on page 31. 



Page 6.3. 1,2.34,220. a circle around 235 ; hence, 1.2.33.985=111 2, as is 

 recorded in the manuscript. 



Page 63. 1,268,540, a circle around 17, thus 1.268.52.3=XIII 20, as is 

 noted in the manuscript, like page 31. 



Page 63. 1,.535,004 (I read, not 10. 8. 3, 16, 4. but, with the addition of a 

 line, 10, 13, 3, 16, 4), a circle around 51,419; consequently, 1,483,58.5=111 

 2, corresponding to the manusci'ipt. 



Page 63. 1,538,342, a circle around 51.419; therefore, 1,486,923=XIII 

 20, which is in the manuscript, as on page 31 ; thus the 51,419 serves for 

 two numbers in common. 



Page 70. 1,-394,120, a circle around ()06 : therefore. 1.393,514=IX 11, as 

 in the manuscript. 



Page 70. 1,437.020, a circle around 1.646; therefore, 1,4.35,374= IX 11 

 again ; compare the manuscript. 



Page 70. 1,201,200, a circle around 86; therefore, 1.201,1 14= IX 11 

 again, which is also recorded here. 



Page 70. 1,202,240, a circle around 208 ; therefore, 1,202,032=IV 9, as 

 the manuscript likewise shows. 



Now follow^ four passages in which, as I before remarked, the 

 circles are wanting, although the functions of the numbers in <|ues- 

 tion are the same as those which are encircled, or they would other- 

 wise be quite inexplicable : 



Page 70. 1,567,332—101,812 (according to the supposition above men- 

 tioned) =1,465,-520. 



Page 70. 1,.520,654— 111,554=1,409,100.
