XX. The Commencement of Day amongst the Saxons and Britons ascertained. In a Letter to the Rev. Dr. Lort by the Rev. Mr. Pegge
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
The beginning of day amongst the ancient Greeks and Romans (meaning by a day the νυχθήμεϱον or the space of twenty-four hours accomplished by a single revolution of the sun, to speak vulgarly) seems to be very clearly understood and determined, and is of great use and importance in regard to the innumerable passages of their authors.
