Scientific paper

The author attempts to reconstruct from the Bybylonian Astronomical Diaries the method of calculation used by Babylonian astronomers for predicting the acronychal risings (date when a celestial body rises exactly at the time of sunset) of the superior planets. An acronychial rising of Jupiter is mentioned in the second earliest known Diary (ADT -567). The dates and the longitudes of these phenomena were computed in the Babylonian ephemerides to a degree of precision exceeding the observations recorded in the diaries.
