178. The Julian calendar (↔ Gregorian calendar) was evidently influenced by Egyptian ideas connected with Sirius (the brightest star in the night and also responsible for when the waters in the Nile should rise). The date for the heliacal rising of Sirius was defined in the Sun calendar to be June 30 (181).
And December 28 should be day number 2 * 181 = 362.
Therefore Mars in AD 2027 should be standing at the threshold to the next halfyear, beginning with day 181 + 360 / 2 = 361 (December 27) - like when Sirius was at the threshold to the other (back side) halfyear. 19 * 19 = 361.

His justice in the decision of causes was beyond that of all the former kings.

Herodotus goes on: An oracle reached him from the town of Buto, which said 'six years only shalt thou live upon this earth, and in the seventh thou shalt end thy days'. Mycerinus, indignant, sent an angry message to the oracle, reproaching the god with his injustice - 'My father and uncle,' he said 'though they shut up the temples, took no thought of the gods and destroyed multitudes of men, nevertheless enjoyed a long life; I, who am pious, am to die soon!'

Mycerinus, when this answer reached him, perceiving that his doom was fixed, had lamps prepared, which he lighted every day at eventime, and feasted and enjoyed himself unceasingly both day and night, moving about in the marsh-country and the woods, and visiting all the places he heard were agreeable sojourns.
