Utilized with eclipses, the Metonic Cycle can also be employed to determine astronomy constants.
Of course longer periods (it is not a true cycle) offer greater precision.
"... accurate integer equation of lunar synodic with the apogee-perigee period ensures greater interval constancy of eclipse observations."
