The later Hebrew names also are here added for comparison. It must, however, be noticed that \u201cthe years employed in the Syrian Calendar, were, at least after the incarnation, Julian years, composed of Roman months.\u201d (SeeL\u2019Art de v\u00e9rifier les dates: Paris, 1818, tom. i. p. 45.) The correspondence with the Hebrew months, therefore, is not so close as the names would indicate, since these commenced with the new moons, and an intercalary month, Veadar, following their twelfth month Adar, was added.\nOctober / Tishri prior / Tishri, or Ethanim\nNovember / Tishri posterior / Bull, or Marcheshvan\nDecember / Canun prior / Chisleu\nJanuary / Canun posterior / Tebeth","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Memoirs of Edessa And Other Ancient Syriac Documents.: Syriac Calendar.","type":"page"}
