“ Etnos invenimus modo quod apparuit in tempore 
“ noftro unus cometa in principio pifcium, et cauda 
u attingit ufque ad principium geminorum in node 
{C Mercurii, et hoc fuit in ultimam node Junii, anno 
“ 499 Arab, et fequebatur ordinem fignorum quo- 
“ ufque venit ufque ad principium cancri, et dimiiit 
“ ordinem fignorum, et incepit deficere.” 
The word Junii here found feems to have been 
tranfcribed by miftake for the Arabic month Jumedi.j, 
the laft day whereof that year was Wednefday Feb. 7. 
A. C. 1 106 ; whereas the laft day of June fell upon 
Saturday. This reading agrees with the following 
notes concerning the fame comet colleded by Heve- 
lius in his Cometographia , p. 821. 
ic A. C. 1106 a prima hebdomada quadragefimas 
“ cometam immenfi fulgoris ufque ad paftionem Do- 
<c mini confpeximus.” Lavath ex Urfpurg. 
“ A. C. 1106, menfe Februar. biduo poft novi- 
c ‘ lunium, viftis eft magnus cometa, ad occafum fo- 
a lis brumalem.’* Calvif. ex Tyr. 
The new moon was Feb. y, Afli-Wednefday that 
year Feb. 7, and Good-Friday, March 23. 
If we luppofe (with Dr. Halley) this comet to be 
the fame with that which appeared in 1680, and 
that it was in perihelio Feb. 4, at noon (for it mult 
have been feen in two or three days after it had pafted 
its perihelion) fome of its places would have been 
thefe : 
Feb.
