 Euclid's Geometry: Greek Vatican Manuscript 190   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)

 The Star Sothis and Egyptian Chronology
On a manuscript of Theon there was discovered that by now celebrated annotation, written in what Martin (13) has described as "barbarian Greek", that tells of 1605 years having elapsed since "Menophres" and until the end of the era of Augustus, or the beginning of the era of Diocletian.
Historians, learning presumably from Theon the name of the king who inaugurated a major era, and placing this king in the time indicated by Censorinus at the beginning of a Sothic period, have been able to obtain for themselves a fixed point around which to build Egyptian chronology and the history of the ancient world.
Because Theon had referred to the conclusion of a 1460-year period as having occurred in the 5th year of Augustus, or 26 BC, as opposed to Censorinus's testimony that a Great Year of the same duration had commenced in 139 AD, Long went so far as to say that Theon's statement "contradicts Censorinus".

THEON'S PROGYMNASMATA is one of four extant Greek texts on the preliminary exercises to rhetoric.
Theon has been variously dated, but the current consensus places him in the first century A.D.1 In this paper I shall argue that the grounds for this early dating are weak, and that the author is more likely to have been an independently attested fifth-century rhetorician named Theon.

Theon is the accusative of god, and theos is the nominative case — this means that Theon is a direct object, and theos is a subject.
