Dear Gianni and Roger,

Thank you very much for the clarifications.
Gianni's table is especially clear about
the two cycles of 12 for Italic hours as
used in the Muslim world.

Chris Lusby Taylor's comment is true in a
way but, equally, your original remark can
be interpreted as being correct.  You
said:

  Also for each point of the line of horizon
  (on the sundial) pass one hour line with
  Modern, one with Italic *and* one with
  Babylonian hours.

I interpreted this as being *correct*.  The
horizon line IS either B=0 or I=24 so you
have triple points like  B=0, F=8, I=16
and  B=8, F=16, I=24.  These points are
on the horizon line!

I do agree that  HMOD=11, HIT=22, HBAB=2
is an inconsistent trio but it can be made
correct just by changing HBAB to 0 and
you have another triple point on the
horizon line!

Best wishes

Frank
