The earlier Hellenic system, represented by Selendromia, would seem to have repraesented the
Zarathustrian et al. system of praescription for the days, whereas the newer sequential
arrangement in Works and Days, lines 765-828, would seem to repraesent the sequence of the
naks.atra-s. Thus:--
Hesiodos: Works and Days naks.atra
116-119. "news

128-131. 289. "daughter"
"sacrificial [cf. Guarayu
