FORSTEMANN] SERIES OF NUMBERS, DRESDEN CODEX 465 



For eveiy six divisions by 177 there is, then, one by 148 ; for every 

 nine divisions by 177, one by 178. 



Since 177 and 178 each embrace 6 months and 1-18, on the otlier 

 hand, embraces 5 months, the whole length of the period equals 405 

 months, which are divided into ()9 periods. 



All this had to be discussed before 1 could connnunicate the entire 

 series itself. 1 will here set down the numbers and join to them the 

 difference between each number and the preceding one (in the case of 

 the first, therefore, the difference between that and the zero point), 

 just as they are given in the manuscript. I have placed an asterisk 

 where I have corrected a number, the manuscript in the correspond- 

 ing places containing an error in writing or in computation. The 

 three columns correspond to the three thirds of 3,986 days each, the 

 two horizontal spaces separate the periods of 1,742, 1,034, and 1,210 

 daj's.
