The 255 equal division divides the octave into 255 equal parts of 4.706 cents each. It tempers out the parakleisma, |8 14 -13>, and the septendecima, |-52 -17 34>, in the 5-limit. In the 7-limit it tempers out cataharry, 19683/19600, mirkwai, 16875/16807 and horwell, 65625/65536, so that it supports mirkat temperament, and in fact provides the optimal patent val. It also gives the optimal patent val for mirkat in the 11-limit, tempering out 540/539, 1375/1372, 3025/3024 and 8019/8000. In the 13-limit it tempers out 847/845, 625/624, 1575/1573 and 1716/1715.
