Translation

Montauban, Nîmes, Avignon and
Béziers:
Plague, thunder and hail by the end of March.
Of Paris bridge, Lyons wall, Montpellier
Since six hundred and seven twenty-three parts.
Nostradamus
writes to his son Cesar that March 1, 1555, is the beginning date of the
time span of the quatrains. In quatrain 03-56, he points to this date.
In
the fourth line, the word "since" is written. This means that
the "six hundred and seven, twenty-three parts" point to a period of
607 years and 23 days. This period has to be added to March 1, 1555, the
beginning date of the time span of the quatrains. This results in the
fulfilment date of this quatrain: March 24, 2162, Julian calendar.
This fulfilment date corresponds with the second line, which says that
plague, thunder and hail will occur by the end of March.
According
to the CD4-system, the system to calculate
fulfilment dates for the quatrains, quatrain 03-56 is written on August
21, 1532, 01:46:07 G.M.T.
Nostradamus
writes in his letter to Henry II that his predictions start "in the
present time, i.e. March 14, 1557". This date is not the beginning
date of the time span of the quatrains. If the period of 607 years and
23 days is added to March 14, 1557, this results in April 6, 2164,
Julian calendar. This is after the end of March and does not correspond
with the second line.
The letter to Henry II is meant as an introduction to the 8th, 9th and
10th century. The mentioning of March 14, 1557 means most probably that
there is not a single quatrain in these centuries that will be fulfilled
before March 14, 1557.

Brind'Amour
wrote that the decease of Francis I on March 31, 1547, was announced,
accompanied or underlined by a number of miracles. On December 10, 1547, the St. Michael's
bridge in Paris collapsed as a result of floods. In Nostradamus
Astrophile, p.259, Brind'Amour interpreted the word pars in the fourth
line as an astronomical reference to a part of the year. Therefore, the
fourth line would point at May 20, 1607. At the end of his comment on
quatrain 03-56, Brind'Amour wrote that the enigma of numbers in the
fourth line remained insolvable.[1]
