Maude's 1900 translation of Censorinus, or printer/inputter, mispells Quintius Musius, evidently one of the two Quintus Mucius Scaevola, but which one? In ictu oculi ( talk) 07:43, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
As stated, "The English term noon is also derived from the ninth hour, although due to semantic drift now refers to midday rather than mid-afternoon." According to two traditional Catholic sources ( https://taylormarshall.com/2018/02/medieval-lent-harder-islamic-ramadan.html and https://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/think-lent-tough-take-look-medieval-lenten-practices) it is due to a supposedly Lenten Practice, where monasteries would often move the recitation of nones as early as 12pm, in order to provide the working monks and laborers an opportunity to break their fast earlier in the day, with a remnant of this shift is still detectable in the rubrics for reciting the Roman Breviary up until the 1960s where None was prescribed to be recited in the morning before Mass.

This article should include the watch system, as it appears frequently in ancient Roman texts. I don't know if it was just in military use (I doubt it). I believe it was used for night times only. 2605:8D80:5C1:4672:FBEA:7DE2:2CA4:FA91 ( talk) 22:29, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
