“Julianaj dimanĉaj literoj estis B kaj A, Gregorana: G, kiu estas la 5-a sekvanta post V reganta ĝis la supertago (25 febr.) sed 6-a sekvanta post A reganta post la supertago.”
“Sxajne Julio Cezaro mortis 20 tagojn post sia unua supertago (inter la 23-a kaj la 24-a de februaro). La romianoj konsideris siajn supermonatojn kiel misauxgurajn, do eble ankaux la supertagon.”
Apparently Julius Caesar died 20 days after his first leap day (between the 23rd and the 24th of February). The Romans considered their leap months as inauspicious, so perhaps also the leap day.
“Kiam inter du vintraj solsticoj pasas ne 365, sed 366 kalendaraj tagoj (unu fojon post ĉiu kvara jaro), enŝoviĝus unu supertago, kiu estus la 31a de junio.”
When between two winter solstices not 365 but 366 calendar days pass (once after every fourth year), one leap day would be intercalated, which would be the 31st of June.
