                   The accuracy of the PETIN-METON Calendar 

 4.  Conclusions

4.1.  In the calendar are applied the new base and the intermediate compensating cycles made from the Meton  cycles with improved structure of lunar years, months and weeks:

            - base cycle 1 = 57 lunar years = Meton simple + Meton leap + Meton simple = 20 819 days, 

            - intermediate (Hipparh2) cycle = 304 lunar years =

                                                    =  Meton simple + 5 x (base cycle 1) = 111 035 days,

            - intermediate (Petin3) cycle = 23 408 lunar years =

                                                    =  77 x [Meton simple + 5 x (base cycle 1)] = 8 549 695 days,

            -intermediate (Petin5) cycle = 855 lunar years =

              = 2 � [Meton simple + 5 x (base cycle 1)] + [Meton simple + 4 x (base cycle 1)] = 312 286 days.

4.2. The chosen sequence and alternation of Meton of cycles provide the following accuracy of the PETIN-METON calendar for intervals of time:

             0 - 1 216  years                        -0,9481 - +1,0662 day,

             0 - 11 856 years                       -0,9481 - +1,4926 day,

             0 - 23 264 years                       -1,3798 - +1,4926 day.

The calendar cycles after 23 408 years are repeated.   

The following calendar compensation (decreasing 1 day) should be carried out in the cycle P4

                           P4 = 23 408 � 162 = 3 792 096 years.
