74.8 And again it returns in seven days to the fourth Gate from which the

Sun rises.

74.9 Thus I saw their positions; how the Moon rose and the Sun set in those

days.

74.10 And if five years are added together, the Sun has an excess of thirty
days. For each year, of the five years, there are three hundred and sixty

four days.
74.11 And the excess, of the Sun and the stars, comes to six days. In five

years, with six days each, they have an excess of thirty days, and the Moon
falls behind the Sun and the stars by thirty days.

74.12 And the Moon conducts the years exactly, all of them according to

their eternal positions; they are neither early nor late, even by one day, but

change the year in exactly 364 days.

74.13 In three years, there are 1,092 days, and in five years 1,820 days, so

that in eight years there are 2,912 days.

74.14 For the Moon alone, the days in three years come to 1,062 days, and

in five years it is fifty days behind.

74.15 And there are 1,770 days in five years so that for the Moon the days

in eight years amount to 2,832 days.

74.16 For the difference in eight years is eighty days, and all the days that

the Moon is behind, in eight years, are eighty days.

74.17 And the year is completed exactly, in accordance with their positions,

and the positions of the Sun, in that they rise from the Gates from which

the Sun rises and sets for thirty days.

75.1 And the leaders of the tens of thousands, who are in charge of the

whole of creation, and in charge of all the stars, and also the four days

which are added, and are not separated from their position, according to the

whole reckoning of the year. And these serve on the four days that are not

counted in the reckoning of the year.
