13. The moon brings on all the years exactly, that their stations may
come neither too forwards nor too backwards a single day; but that the
years may be changed with correct precision in three hundred and
sixty-four days. In three years the days are one thousand and
ninety-two; in five years they are one thousand eight hundred and
twenty; and in eight years two thousand nine hundred and twelve days.
14. To the moon alone belong in three years one thousand and sixty-two
days; in five years it has fifty days less _than the sun_, for an
addition being made to the _one thousand and_ sixty-two days, in five
years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days; and the
days of the moon in eight years are two thousand eight hundred and
thirty-two days.
15. For its days in eight years are less _than those of the sun by_
eighty days, which eighty days are its diminution in eight years.
16. The year then becomes truly complete according to the station of the
moons, and the station of the sun; which rise in the _different_ gates;
which rise and set in them for thirty days.
