E. = Egyptian calendar 1513 BC to 25 BC
Z. = Egyptian calendar used by Zoroaster 1513-389 BC
Difference starts Mar 4 of 1513 BC
Egypt quits using Epagum days preceding Pamenot so March 4
is Pamenot 1, but in Persia it is still Epagum 1, and Pamenot 1 is on
Mar 9. Then Egypt's Mesor 30 is on Aug 30 but this is Mesor 25 in
Persia. Egypt's new decree of Toth new year begins epagum days 1 thru
5 as Aug 31 thru Sep 4, so Thoth 1 remains on Sep 5 as it would have
been, but word gets to Persia to place 5 epagum days in front of Thoth
for now on instead of Pamenot and they then mark Sep 5 thru 9 as
Epagum days 1 thru 5 not knowing in Egypt they already went thru the
five days on Aug 31. And so from 1513 BC to 389 BC, the Zoroaster
Thoth calendar is Thoth 1 on Thoth 6. This places all dates as 9 years
before Egyptian reckoning. A lunar date for Zoroaster Thoth in 474 BC
will look like 465 BC using the Egyptian calendar.
