Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c13.28

c13.28

Under these circumstances it appears to me that some account of the era of the Seleukidæ is absolutely necessary for any work treating of early Indian dates. I have therefore drawn up the accompanying tables of the initial days of all the years of the era from its commencement down to the close of the Parthian empire in the early part of the Third Century A.D. I have studied the accounts given by Clinton in his Fasti Hellenici, and by Browne in his Ordo Sæclorum, and I have examined most of their authorities in the original. I have also computed many of the test calculations for myself, some of which will be noticed presently.
