Note to Anon (FoGT) 6III

[All]: The citation is appropriate to the figure of chronographia, as it specifies the exact time of Christ’s death on the Cross, as mentioned in three of the four gospel accounts (Matt. XXVII.45-6; Mark XV.33-4; Luke XXIII.44-5). There it is stated that darkness fell upon the earth at the sixth hour and lasted until the ninth hour, at which time Christ died. The same idea appears in Anon (FoGT) 46/5.
