the latter part of the 5618th, and the beginning of the 5619th year since the creation of the world, according to the Jews; the 2611th year (according to Varro) since the foundation of

Rome;

the 2605th year

since the era of Nabonassar, which has been assigned to Wednesday, the 26th of February, of the 3967th year of the Julian Period, which corresponds, according to the chronologists, to the 747th, and, according to the astronomers, to the 746th year before the birth of Christ; the 2634th year of the Olympiads, or the second year of the 659th Olympiad, which begins in July, 1858, if we fix the era of the Olympiads at 775 years before Christ, or at or about the beginning of July of the year 3938 of the Julian Period; the latter part of the 1274th and the beginning of the 1275th year (of twelve lunations) since the Hegira, or flight of Mahomet, which, as is generally supposed, took place on the 16th of July, in the year 622 of the Christian era.
