consists of 7980 (= 28 X 19 X 15) Julian years, after which the years of the Solar, Metonio, and Indiction cycles come round again in the same order; the year of each cycle was 1 on B.C. 4713; the J. P. begins on the 1st of January in that year. The use of the J. P. first brought light and order into chronology.
