• Nebuchadrezzar II / Awel Marduk

  Further on I'll previously have to use the Canon Basileion figures, getting the following tables.

  begin of the year	end of the year	name of the year possibility 1	name of the year possibility 2	name of the year possibility 3
  spring -561	spring -560	Nebuchadrezzar II 43 last year, Awel-Marduk accession year	Nebuchadrezzar II 43	Nebuchadrezzar II 43

  spring -557	spring -556			Awel-Marduk 2, Neriglissar accession year

• Neriglissar.

  According to the Canon Basileion the termini of Neriglissar were, for his beginning of reign: spring -559 and spring -556, for his end of reign: autumn -556 and autumn -552.. In number 6 of the Babylonian Chronicle Series², year 3 of Neriglissar is full of events, and he returned home in Ajaru, the last month of the year. As to be seen below, the third year ran at the earliest from spring -556 till spring -555. So an end of reign TPQ of autumn -556 cannot be maintained, an has to be replaced to spring -555. That's why, in the scheme below, the possibility of the third year as a last one, is not taken into consideration.

  begin of the year	end of the year	name of the year possibility 1	name of the year possibility 2	name of the year possibility 3	name of the year possibility 4	name of the year possibility 5	name of the year possibility 6

• Nabonidus

  The termini of the Nabonidus beginning of reign were spring -555 and autumn -552. According to number and the Canon Basileion he reigned 17 years, which is giving the following.

  name of the king	beginning of reign	years of reign	end of reign
  Nabonidus	spring -555	16.5	autumn -539
  Nabonidus	spring -555	17.5	autumn -538
  Nabonidus	autumn -552	16.5	spring -535
  Nabonidus	autumn -552	17.5	spring -534

  In this way I may make the following table.
