170 A STCDY OF THE MANUSCRIPT TROANO. 



The lists of day cliaracters on this plate as given by M. de Charency, 

 differ from the foregoing onl}^ in having Ix for the first day of the left col- 

 umn of the upper division, and Kan for the first day of the right column 

 of the same division. These two days are obliterated in the IManuscript 

 and hence have to be restored, which can only be done by counting the 

 intervals. 



The interval between the days in these two columns, as may be seen 

 by counting, is six days. This gives Kan as the first of the left-hand col- 

 umn and Ix as the first of the right-hand; lience I conclude that this author 

 is wrong in his restoration, or has made a mistake in transcribing. Follow- 

 ing out his plan, we would have an interval of sixteen daj-s between Ix and 

 Oc in the first column and of six between each of the others, and a like 

 discrepancy in the other column. But I think it is evident, from what he 

 says on page 30 of the same work, that he has unintentionally reversed 

 these two days, as it is not sixteen days from Kan to Oc, as he says, but 

 six. If we substitute Ix for Kan and Kan for Ix, we find all his numbers 

 correct, except that it is only ten days from Lamat to Ezanab, instead of 



sixteen, as he states.
