ME 924 - Campaign to Chinese Shan States begins

Fri, 4th waxing of Tabaung 924 ME (my-2-261) Should be 14th waxing!

ME 924 - Yaza Dewi raised to senior queen

Wed, 5th waning of Tabaung 924 ME (my-2-265) & (hy-2-344) Should be Thu, 5th waning; Wed, 4th waning Or Wed, 5th waxing. Both chronicles spell out Wednesday, so the actual date was probably Wednesday.

Fri, 12th waning of Waso 925 ME (hy-2-345) should be 2nd Waso!

ME 925 - Siam Campaign begins

Mon, 12th waning of Tazaungmon 925 ME (my-2-268) was it Mon, 2nd waning?

ME 925 - Overruns Portuguese defenses at the Ayutthaya harbor

Mon, 11th waning of Tabodwe 925 ME (yt-2-123) (hy-2-353) Mon, 15th waning of Tabodwe 925 ME (my-2-271) –15th waning or waxing is almost always a copying error! In this case, both Yazawin Thit and Hmannan corrected Maha Yazawin.

Fri, 8th waxing of Tabaung 925 ME (my-2-273) (hy-2-355)

ME 926 - Lan Na campaign begins

Mon, 4th waning of Tazaungmon 926 ME (my-2-278) this is incorrect. It’s either Mon, 5th waning or Sun, 4th waning.

ME 927 - Returning troops from Lan Xang arrives back at Pegu

Fri, 11th waxing of Thadingyut 927 ME (my-2-292)

ME 928 - Reconstruction of Pegu begins

Thu, 10th waxing of Tazaungmon 928 ME (my-2-293) (hy-2-380) I think this should be 927 ME because it comes (p. 293) before other earlier entries for 928 ME (p. 294). Plus, I don’t think 927 ME was a wa-gyi-dat (Small Leap) year but rather a wa-nge-dat year—a leap day wasn’t added at the end of Nayon.

Fri, 5th waning of Tabodwe 928 ME (my-2-293)
