That's interesting, as we may have a contradiction within the Wiki and will need to go back to source ({{SG}}) and resolve an editing error...  the book page for {{SG}} lists this under ''Miscellaneous'', and this was my starting point:
* [[Year of the Notional Serpent]] in the [[Century of the Fruitbat]], time frame for this book
* [[Year of the Astounded Beetle]], Brutha was 2 years old then (almost 3) when he saw [[derechmi]], an Ephebian coin
But as you say, the Discworld Timeline article has the evens of {{SG}} happening ''before'' the Century of the Fruitbat begins!
So I guess it's time to go back to the book and double check, if only to perform any necessary correction... [[User:AgProv|AgProv]] ([[User talk:AgProv|talk]]) 09:20, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh boy! The Small Gods Question again (see Talk:Book:Small Gods).
What's your argument for placing Brutha in the recent century? I can't accept it in face of the data in the text and I still like TC01's Djelbeybian Time-Well hypothesis to explain the discrepancies. (Our article on the Discworld calendar has him in the Century of the Cobra.) --Old Dickens (talk) 01:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
