DATING THE FALL OF BABYLON AND UR by Gerard Gertoux

On the stele from Abydos dated Year 4 of Ramses IV, Pharaoh says: My heart has not forgotten the day of my psdntyw feast181 and this stele is dated 10 Akhet III, which implies a connection with this lunar day. The year 4 of Ramses IV began on III Shemu 15 (the day of his accession)182 and in 1158 according to the previous scheme, one can also verify that the 4 years of Ramses IV began with a lunar day 1 dated III Shemu 16, which explains the choice of the year 4 for this inscription. The III Shemu 15 corresponds to April 19 in 1158, full moon day, as the III Akhet 10 which corresponds to August 16, -1158.
