Likewise, Aristotle does not mention the structure of intercalary years, but the assumption that the common year arrangement was extended in a straightforward manner to give the first prytanies 39 days and the remaining six 38 days establishes a structure consistent with a number of complete inscriptions.
Thus, the 10-prytany calendar for intercalary years is:

This structure supplies a calendar for intercalary years of 384 days plus or minus 1 day.
