1 Enoch 74:13

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

In 3 years there are 1,092 days, and in 5 years 1,820 days, so that in 8 years there are 2,912 days.13-16. Merely seem to assert that the solar year of 364 days exceeds the lunar of 354 by 10 days. But why should eight years be referred to? The author seems to have in mind the eight-year cycle or octaetris, which, however, allowed for 365¼ days in the solar year. See special Introduction to lxxii-lxxxii, p. 150 in my new Commentary.
