[B_535,SIBL,8.5,IMG,NO KESKINTO IMG]

History of Ancient Mathematical Astronomy

By O. Neugebauer

3 volumes; 1975 reprint; springer-verlag

CATNYP# JSE 76-844 (3 volumes) “HAMA”

Copies from v. 1:

698-705: See KESKINTO!

“In 1893 a Greek from Lindos on the Island of Rhodes accidentally discovered in nearby Keskinto [ancient Lartos; ~7 [or 8!] Km west of Lindos; the text does not come from a systematic excavation] a fragmentary astronomical inscription of which he made a squeeze that was sent to Athens and then to Hiller v. Gaertringen in Berlin.  The stone itself was later transported to the museum in Berlin.”

Source images referred to: [fragment roughly 76 x 28 centimeters]

1. Herz [1894], p. 1144 (upside down) [in SBAW or similar]

2. Tannery, Mem. Sci. 15, p. 119

3. Prof. Derek Price [AKA Derek John de Solla Price [1922-1983] of Yale University] obtained a new squeeze after World War II [Item was not destroyed by an act of war].

4. Preliminary notice [indirectly by Hiller von Gaertringen]: Archaeologischer Anzeiger 1894, No. 3, p. 125 =KESKINTO; [B_540]

[See HAMA]

“the last line of the text (preceeding the dedication) contains the statement

…] the circle (contains) 360 degrees (moipwv) 720 “points”

(stigmwv) of the circle [a drawn circle]. One degree contains [2] points.”

My note to readers: see how this differs from the IG analysis!

[9720 points and 27 sub-points!]

Neugebauer [Henceforth O.N.] states the planets are ordered thusly:

[Venus]-Mercury-Mars-Jupiter-Saturn; i.e. the same order found with Archimedes.

[O.N.] For each one of the outer planets are listed four sets of integers, called, respectively,

*kata mnkos lwdiakoi [zodiacal longitutes=L]

*kata platos tropikoi [latitudinal variations=B]

*kata bados peridpomai [rotations in depth=G]

*kata oxnma diesodoi [returns in phase=A]

*Note my approximation of the Greek is only for recognition purposes and is NOT phonetically viable. I wish to avoid inserting a Greek font into this website. Persons requiring scans may contact me: brucefriedmandcg@aol.com

[O.N.] 1. In any planetary theory the revolutions of the planet in longitude (L) and the number of corresponding phases (A) should satisfy the following identity

number of sidereal rotations + number of synodic periods =

number of sidereal years

Consequently we should expect L + A = N0

With probably the same value N0 for all planets. This assumption is easily tested. We know, e.g., from the Babylonian “Goal-year texts” how many synodic periods S correspond to N years:

Mars: N=79   Jupiter: N=71  Saturn: N=59

          S=37                S=65               S=57

Hence we should expect that in our text

A*(N/S)~=N0

This is indeed nearly the case

HEBREW CALENDAR: obscure functions; Venus considerations?

The names of the months in the Hebrew calendar are of Babylonian origin, the returnees from the Babylonian exile brought them to the Land of Israel. Only four of the original Hebrew names survived: the month of Aviv - Spring (Nissan), the month of Ziv (Iyar), the month of Bul (Marcheshvan) and the month of Eitanim (Tishrei). In the excavations at Gezer an ancient clay tablet was found on which names of months are engraved in ancient Hebrew script. These months have direct agricultural links: Assif-the harvest month, Zera-the month of planting, Lekesh-the month of Spring grain, Ktzir Pishtan - the flax harvest month, Ktzir Seorim- the barley harvest month, Ktzir Col- the month of general harvest, Zamir-pruning month and Kayitz-the month of Summer.

 

In Biblical times and in the time of the Second Temple it was customary to call the months by their numerical order - the First Month (Nissan), the Third Month (Sivan), the Seventh Month (Tishrei) and so forth.

http://www.biu.ac.il/ICJI/Competition/chapter7/703.htm

 

See these citations!

the Hebrew months have been designated in the course of Jewish history by two sets of names. Of the former set--going back probably to Chanaanite times--only four names have survived in the Hebrew Bible. These are: 'Abhîbh (A.V. Ex. 13:4, 23:15; Deut. 16:1), subsequently the first month; Zíw (III K. 6:1), subsequently the second month; 'Ethanîm (III K. 8:2), subsequently the seventh month; and Bûl (III K. 6:38), subsequently the eighth month. The latter set of names, certainly of Babylonian origin, began to be used after the Exile. Of its twelve names now found in the Jewish calendar only seven occur in the Hebrew text, but the whole twelve appear as the main divisions of the Megillath Ta'anith (Scroll of Fasting), which in its original form is referred to a date before the Christian Era. These twelve names are as follows:

Nîsan (Nehem. 2:1; Esth. 3:7)

'Iyyar (not named in Scripture)

Sîwan (Esth. 8:9; Baruch 1:8)

Támmûz (Cf. A.V. Ezek. 8:14)

'Abh (not named in Scripture)

'Elûl (Nehem. 6:15; I Mach. 14:27)

Tíshrî (not named in Scripture)

Márhéshwan, or simply Héshwan (not named in Scripture)

Kíslew (Zach. 7:1; Nehem. 1:1)

Tebeth (Esth. 2:16)

Shebhat (Zach. 1:7, I Mach. 16:14)

'Adar (I Esdras 6:15; Esth. 3:7, 8:12, etc.)

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03166a.htm

 

Israel adopted all twelve months of the Babylonian calendar as their civil calendar, but not all of the twelve months are listed in the Bible. The seven that occur are: Nisan, the first month; Sivan, the third month; Elul, the sixth month; Kislev, the ninth month; Tevet, the tenth month; Shevat, the eleventh month; and Adar, the twelfth month.

http://biblicalholidays.com/Excerpts/hebrew_calendar.htm

 

Holidays that occur in the month of Adar (such as Purim) are celebrated in Adar 2 in a leap year. The same rule is applied to birthdays, anniversaries and other personal events.

http://www.rtlsoft.com/hebrew/calendar/about.html

 

Years are counted since the creation of the world, which is assumed to have taken place in 3761 BC[E]. In that year, AM 1 started (AM = Anno Mundi = year of the world).

In the year AD 2001 we have witnessed the start of Hebrew year AM 5762.
