贤哲教说:见日在其周之始、月正其盛、诸星在轨、十二宫各按其序的,当诵「造化之工的作者」。日几时在其周之始?阿巴耶说:每二十八年一周而复始,尼散月的春分落在土星之宫、在周三夜周四之初的时候——那时诸宫复归受造之初的位次。

阿巴耶 说:每二十八年一周走完、复归起头的时候;那时尼散月的春分——就是春日昼夜等长之时——落在土星之宫,在一周第三日的夜、第四日的初;因为那时诸宫复归它们受造之初被安置在天上的位次。
Abaye said: Every twenty-eight years when the cycle is complete and returns to its genesis, and the Nisan, vernal, equinox, when the spring days and nights are of equal length, falls within the constellation of Saturn on the night of the third and eve of the fourth day of the week, as then their arrangement returns to be as it was when the constellations were first placed in the heavens.
