*)eniauto/s
Adler number: epsilon,1330

Translation: The Hebrews "number the year according to the lunar course, so that amongst them the month has 29 and a half days. So since the solar cycle has 365 [days], but the lunar [cycle] has 354, the solar year exceeds the lunar year by 11 days. Consequently Greeks and Jews insert three intercalary months [in] eight [years]."[1]
