| Astronomical ephemeris for 467 A.D. covering parts of the first three months of the
Egyptian year, Thoth, Phaophi and Hathyr. The numbering of the weeks, the Roman, Egyptian
or Alexandrian, and lunar months; the daily position of the moon expressed by sign,
degree, and minute, and the hour at which it passes from sign to sign; the daily position
of the sun, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury; and designations of each day
as a good, bad, or indifferent, doubtless based on astrological considerations such
as the aspects of the heavenly bodies. |

| The dark brown papyrus has been written in reddish brown ink, and small literary hand.
The contents of this ephemeris are arranged in about fourteen columns. Single ruled
lines separate the columns of figures, with double ruled lines at the bottom. Single
lines are also ruled horizontally across the columns as guides, so as to separate
the entries into groups of two or three. The three fragments came from a codex. |
