Hello, In a note quoted below from the "Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, John Murray, London, 1875" I found the following advice to convert temporal hours to modern hours.
*"A very quick and easy rule of thumb, when we read "the third hour, the sixth hour", etc., is to add 3, 6, etc. to 5:00 A.M.: The first hour, for example, runs from roughly 6 to roughly 7 A.M.; and the ninth hour from roughly 2 to roughly 3 P.M."* Source: http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/secondary/SMIGRA*/Hora.html Of course back then there was no summer time either... But is there a closer aproximation for this, perhaps using a simple mathematical formula? Are there apps that can convert temporal hours directly to modern equivalents, perhaps as a spreadsheet?
