Year — one rung of the editor’s lattice; every claim below carries its ground or says it has none

486 BCE

Ol. 73, 3 · within Olympiad 73 · 4 claims on the desk receipt — the chronology desk

The reckonings — how the year is counted, system by system; lookup from the table, never arithmetic

date conventional Clinton counts the year Olympiad 73, 3.

486. 73, 3. Clinton, Fasti Hellenici vol. II (Oxford 1841), p. 30 cited, never reprinted — the apparatus shelf

date conventional The archonship for this year — as the recovered row stands, unstated. The table row the house recovered for this year names no archon; the office stands empty on the page the desk cites, and the desk does not fill it.

The record dates itself — the ancients' own year-namings and day-namings, verbatim, linked to their episodes

date conventional The table sets the revolt of Egypt here from Herodotus' spacing — the fourth year after Marathon, the year before the death of Darius. The scan prints 'Ilerodot.' where the page reads Herodot.

Revolt of Egypt, in the fourth year after the battle of Marathon, and the year before the death of Darius: Ilerodot. VII. 1. 4. Clinton, Fasti Hellenici vol. II (Oxford 1841), p. 30 cited, never reprinted — the apparatus shelf

date conventional Herodotus gives the interval that pins the year: Darius died the year after Egypt revolted, thirty-six years on the throne.

But in the year after this and the revolt of Egypt, death came upon him in the midst of his preparations, after a reign of six and thirty years in all Hdt. 7.4 The Histories · Herodotus

The year’s deeds

No curated deed is anchored to this year yet — a fact about the index, not about the year.
