Those familiar with the classic problems of chronology that are revisited by each generation of scholars will appreciate the depth of Panin's often unique approach.One of the interesting aspects of a number of ancient languages like Hebrew is that in their written form, where we have numbers and letters, they have only letters. The facts are detailed and internally consistent, the "Canons" are salient and would hold up in any academic court, and the numerics have their own distict appeal.

While he could write volumes on the subject, he limits himself to clear examples that have specific impact.
