Title Astrological Table
Author Unknown
Summary Fragmentary list of full moons, giving hours (of day or night) and longitudes for 13 consecutive oppositions during one year. The longitudes found in the text can be fitted very well to actual full moon positions (e.g. in 288-289 and 383-384) but the hours do not agree throughout, so that no secure date can be determined
