Extract

In a note to the communication of Dr. Gustav Oppert, on the Origin of the Æra Dionysiana (Archaeologia, vol. XLIV. p. 347), you paid me the compliment of mentioning a suggestion I had made for the correction of the Latin note to the year A.D. 625, which is found in the MS. of the Saxon Chronicle in the Bodleian MS. Laud, 636, and which, as it stands, is, as you observed, unintelligible. It runs thus: “Hic Cyclus Dionysii quinque decennovenalibus constans, hoc est, xcv. annis: sumitque exordium a xxx. anno Incarnationis Domini, et desinit in DCXXVI. anno.”
