² For the lunar eclipse mentioned in pl. iii., that which occurred in 622 A. D. (July 28) appears to satisfy all the necessary conditions. See “L’art de vérifier les dates” (8° ed.) second series: vol. i., p. 309. Mr. Burgess suggests that of July 17th 623 as preferable because fully visible, but as this occurred in the evening, it seems, astrologically, inadmissible. (*Cfr.* Hemādri’s Dānakh. pp. 61-2, 79.) The only possible date is *either* 622 *or* 623.
