Correction to The Seventh Year of Artaxerxes

Our attention has been called to an error in the article entitled “The Seventh Year of Artaxerxes,” which appeared in the REVIEW of Feb. 22, 1912. In the first extract, commencing toward the bottom of the first column on page 9, the second full sentence should read as follows:—
“And the principle on which Ptolemy’s Canon is constructed is to reckon each king’s reign as beginning on the first day of the first month (thoth) of the year in which that king succeeded to the throne,” etc.
Those who are preserving this article for reference should be sure to make this correction.
