Page 25, No. 43, for ‘Sanmya,’ read ‘Saumya.’ Page 42, line 2, for ‘165-164,’ read ‘166-165.’ ——, line 10, for ‘165-164,’ read ‘166-165.’ ——, line 11, for ‘161-160,’ read ‘162-161.’ ——, line 12, for ‘139-138,’ read ‘140-139.’ ——, line 13, for ‘129-128,’ read ‘130-129.’ Page 58, line 24, for ‘any,’ read ‘my.’ Page 73, line 2, insert ‘Guru,’ after ‘Dhamma.’ ——, line 19, for ‘1929’ read ‘1029.’ Page 83, line 23, for ‘Snh,’ read ‘Sanh.’ Page 86, line 36, for ‘of the year,’ read ‘to the year.’ Page 164, opposite A.D. 820, insert, in 1st and 3rd columns of Jupiter-Cycles, two black circles, to show that two names have been omitted.

Thus the following years of the Seleukidan era would all have begun on the 2nd October:— An. Sel. 1, 77, 153, 229, 305, 381, 457, 533, 609 In B.C. 312, 236, 160, 84, 8, A.D. 69, 145, 221, 297 The fact that the battle of Arbela was fought on the 2nd October 331 B.C., near the end of the month of Gorpiæus, shows that the Macedonians of Alexander’s army had not adopted the corrected Calendar of Kallippus, otherwise the 2nd of October would have been the 1st of Hyperberetæus. ### [c4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c4.3) N.B.—P. 95—add the following paragraph:— When the given date falls in an intercalary year after the intercalary month, then 30 days must be added to the number of days given in Table X. Thus, if the given date should be 10th Mâgha-sudi, and the year be an intercalary one, 30 days must be added to the number of 305 days given in the Table, unless the intercalary month should happen to be Phâlguna, which being later in the year, would not affect the month of Mâgha. ### [c4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c4.4) B O O K ### [c4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c4.5) OF I N D I A N E R A S. --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.cunningham-1883.c4) · Pramāṇa
