EM'BOLISM,_/'. [e^oAict^o;, Gr.] Intercalation ; in- 
fertion of days or years to produce regularity and equa¬ 
tion of time. As the Greeks ufed the lunar year, which 
contains only 354 days, that they might bring it to the 
folar year of 365 days, they had an embolifin every two or 
three years, when they added a thirteenth lunar month. 
EMBOLIS'MIC, adj. belonging to the intercalary; is 
chiefly ufed in fpeaking of the addition.* months inferred 
by chronologifts to form the lunar cycle of 19 years. The 
1-9 folar years confiding of 6939 days and 18 hours, and the 
19 lunar years only making 6726 days, it was found necef- 
fary to intercalate or infert 7 lunar months, containing 209 
days; which, with the four bilfexdle days happening in 
the lunar cycle, make 213 days, and the whole 6939 days, 
the fame as the 19 folar years, which make the lunar cy¬ 
cle. In the courfe of nineteen years there are 228 com¬ 
mon moons, and 7 embolifmic moons, which are distri¬ 
buted. in this, manner, viz. the 3d, 6th, 9th, nth, 14th, 
17th, and 19th, years,, are embolifmic, and Sb contain 384 
days each. And this-was the method of computing time 
among the Greeks: though they did not keep regularly 
to if, the Jews did. The method ofthe Greeks was fol¬ 
lowed by the Ropians till the time of Julius Caefar. The 
embolifmic months, like other lunar months, are fome- 
times of 30 days, andfometimes only 19 days, The embo- 
499 
lifmic epaCts are tliofe between 19 and 29 ; which are fo 
called, becaufe, with the addition of the epaCt 11, they 
exceed the number 30; or rather, becaufe the years 
which have thefe epaCts,‘are embolifmic ; having 13 
moons each, the 13th being'the embolifmic.
