In the original article, Table 3 had several data errors present. Below is a list of the corrected entries, as well as a reproduction of the corrected Table 3.

Entry 28: 4,843, not 3,809

Entry 40: 6,940, not 6,950

Entry 43: 7,442, not 6,409

Entry 51: 8,829, not 8,830

Entry 58: 10,040, not 9,007

Entry 66: 11,428, not 11,429

Table 3. Identifying eclipse families in progress during the 405 lunations covered by the Dresden Codex eclipse table. Bold numerals refer to the relative positions of the recorded stations, numbered one through 69, in the Dresden eclipse table; these are followed by the distance of each station from the base date and by the divinatory calendar (DC) date of that station in the table. (a) Eclipse families in progress throughout the span of the table. (b) An eclipse family that begins during the span of the table. (c) Six stations (in grey) that cannot be members of any eclipse family. (d) Four resolvable alternative pairs of eclipse family candidates.

The author apologizes for these errors.
