I have a question for which I can not find an answer.

Why is it believed that the


Babylonians made a mistake in the formula Venus, calculating its size for 587 days?

(...)The Babylonians not only recognized Venus as the same object whether it
appeared in the morning or evening, but they actually developed a method for
calculating the length of the Venus cycle! According to the Babylonians, the length of
one cycle was 587 days, compared with the actual value of 584 days. The slight
difference is due to the fact that they attempted to coincide these astronomical cycles
with phases of the moon.(...) Aveni, Anthony Stairways to the Stars.
