Each season was divided into four months of 30 days. These twelve months were initially numbered within each season but came to also be known by the names of their principal festivals. Each month was divided into three 10-day periods known as decans or decades. It has been suggested that during the Nineteenth Dynasty and the Twentieth Dynasty, the last two days of each decan were usually treated as a kind of weekend for the royal craftsmen, with royal artisans free from work. Because this calendrical year was nearly a quarter of a day shorter than the solar year and did not have any leap years, the Egyptian calendar lost about one day every four years relative to the Julian calendar. It is therefore sometimes referred to as the wandering year (Latin: annus vagus), as its months rotated about one day through the solar year every four years.

Epagomenal Days of the Ancient Egyptian Calendar. The article describes peculiarities of the ancient Egyptian calendar, in particular, insertion of five epagomenal days after twelve months. Using historical and mythological material from different periods the author examines differences between regular and epagomenal days, identifies possible date errors in a balance sheet of the late Ramesside period, where epagomenal days are not given in the end-of-year period, but in the period at the beginning of the year. The source study is based on the author’s translations of a large number of documents; fragments of the papyri Leiden I 346 and Cairo JE 86637 dating to the XIV-XIII centuries BC are…
