Quote:The special explanation of the use of the beginning of the year with March 1 (see under Pre-Caesarian beginning of the year). In French chronicles and annals in Merovingian times, this date was generally used, for example by Marius of Avenche (+593), Gregory of Tours (+ 594) and Fredegar (+ ca. 658). The Concilium Vernense 755 still recognizes 1 March as the beginning of the year: prima synodus mense primo. quod est Martiis calendis. Until its fall (1797), the Republic of Venice always officially reckoned according to this beginning of the year. The Russians had adopted the Byzantine calendar, but not the beginning of September 1st. Until the middle of the 13th century, they used the beginning of March 1.

"A wadi is a valley or river that often only temporarily carries water after the winter snow melts (e.g. in the Atlas Mountains) or after heavy or prolonged rainfall."
I am trying to understand what you are saying with that quote, why would astronomical tables be talking about rivers?
