This paper presents a new edition of the Back Plate Inscription (BPI) of the Antikythera Mechanism, a series of descriptions of circumstances associated with eclipses indicated cyclically by the inscriptions of the Mechanism’s Saros Dial Scale. Our edition features several significant new readings as well as the confirmation of a disputed reading pertaining to one of the index letters by which the BPI’s paragraphs are linked to the specific eclipse glyphs of the Saros Dial. On the basis of the new text, we deduce a revision of the established models for determining which lunar months of the Saros cycle had solar and lunar eclipse possibilities (EPs) and for assigning the solar EPs to paragraphs of the BPI. We further confirm that the entire extant part of the BPI comprises consecutive paragraphs concerning the solar EPs, all inscribed along the right side of the Mechanism’s Back Plate, and we revisit the questions of what the BPI’s predictions mean and how they relate to the model for the solar EPs.

重新审视 Antikythera 装置的背板铭文和蚀方案
本文介绍了 Antikythera 机械装置背板铭文 (BPI) 的新版本,该系列描述了一系列与日食相关的情况,由机械装置的 Saros 刻度盘上的铭文周期性地指示。我们的版本包含几个重要的新读数,并确认了一个有争议的读数,该读数与 BPI 的段落与 Saros Dial 的特定日食字形相关联的索引字母之一有关。在新文本的基础上,我们对已建立的模型进行了修订,以确定沙罗周期的哪个阴历月份有日食和月食的可能性 (EP),并将太阳 EP 分配给 BPI 的段落。我们进一步确认 BPI 的整个现存部分包括关于太阳能 EP 的连续段落,
