# The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file Date: 150 ## The fact The Canon of Kings lists reigns used to date astronomical phenomena in the Ptolemaic file. The dated chronology-list is not the Handy Tables’ computational lock and not the Almagest as kinematics. [Ptolemy](/people/ptolemy)’s documented role is: A king-list used for dating observations is attached to the Handy Tables tradition. Later copies are carriers; unique autograph is not recovered. Do not twin this with Handy Tables as computation. A king-list is a chronological instrument. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Ptolemy's documented role is: A king-list used for dating observations is attached to the Handy Tables tradition. Later copies are carriers; unique autograph is not recovered. ## Context Babylonian and later reign-years, unnamed copyists, and later chronographers already sit in the list. A canon is not unique authorship of every later king. Later Livius pages are access. Named others on the file: Unnamed copyists, later chronographers, and neighbouring Babylonian scribes as prior list-makers share the file. The public setting is the file around 0150-01-15. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file. The setting of The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file is the public file around 0150-01-15. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [personal-data-protection](/drivers/personal-data-protection) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage. The attached driver is personal-data-protection. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. ## Evidence and sources Britannica and Livius independently identify Ptolemy’s Canon as a distinct chronological list. Official: Britannica — Ptolemy, Canon of Kings (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy; Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent: Livius — Ptolemy’s Canon (https://www.livius.org/articles/concept/ptolemys-canon/; Livius.org). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph. Official carrier: Britannica — Ptolemy, Canon of Kings (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy; Encyclopaedia Britannica). Independent carrier: Livius — Ptolemy’s Canon (https://www.livius.org/articles/concept/ptolemys-canon/; Livius.org). Official or archival record: Britannica — Ptolemy, Canon of Kings (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy; Encyclopaedia Britannica). ## Significance Improving personal-data/knowledge-access path: a public reign-year list for dating. Medium confidence on unique autograph. Welfare reading improving. The attached mechanism is A dated chronological list put public reign-years into the astronomical file, distinct from Handy Tables as a computational lock. Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is improving. Shared responsibility is part of The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file. Naming Ptolemy does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 0150-01-15 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them. ## What is established and what is not Established: Canon of Kings as a Ptolemaic chronological heading. Not established: that Handy Tables is this same list. Established: a sourced public record of The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file under 0150-01-15. Established: a sourced public record of The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file under 0150-01-15. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here. Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts. Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not twin this with Handy Tables as computation. A king-list is a chronological instrument. Mixed effects of The Canon of Kings is a public chronological list attached to Ptolemy’s astronomical file are separate paths. ## People - Ptolemy: https://factrail.ai/people/ptolemy ## Drivers - Personal-Data Protection: https://factrail.ai/drivers/personal-data-protection ## Sources - https://www.livius.org/articles/concept/ptolemys-canon/ - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ptolemy ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/pto-canon-of-kings
