Abstract
Using a digital image processing method I demonstrate that a reading from 1833 of the month-line of the Gothic calendar is incorrect. According to that reading, the line includes the word Naubaimbair‘November’, in addition to fruma jiuleis ·l·. In this article I endeavour to demonstrate that there is no Naubaimbair in the original manuscript.
