This must be a typographical error, as according to the narrative Éomer and Éowyn left Minas Tirith on that date: ''[O]n the eighth day of May the Riders of Rohan made ready, and rode off by the North-way, and with them went the sons of Elrond. All the road was lined with people to do them honour and praise them, from the Gate of the City to the walls of the Pelennor.'' </ref>

''The Tale of Years'' cannot be reconciled with the narrative here, in which ''when the month of June entered in [the sapling] was laden with blossom'', something that Aragorn took as a sign that Arwen's arrival would not be ''far off''. The narrative by itself makes perfect sense: Aragorn finds the Tree in May, it is in full flower around the beginning of June, and Arwen enters the City ''on the day before Midsummer''.</ref>
