Answer 1

here are some websites that might help you.

Answer 2

Be sure to estimate the chance correlation of earthquakes with eclipses based on the average earthquake rate over the 20 year period. I think you will find that the correlation rate is well within a standard deviation or so of what you would expect from random chance. While tides are at maximum during solar and lunar eclipses, tidal forces at these periods are insiginificantly larger on average than they would be at any new or full moon.

Tidal strengths will depend more on how close the moon is to perigee at full or new phases than whether it is crossing a node of its orbit.

You also will have to define "earthquake" since there are tremblers in the 2 to 3 region of the Richter scale all over the world many times a day, but if you get down to the point where there are only a handful of earthquakes that count, your statistics will be unreliable (large error.)

XIV. Omens from Earthquakes.

When the earth quakes in Nisan, the king's land will revolt from him. When the earth quakes during the night, harm will come to the land, or devastation to the land. From Apla.

Last night there was an earthquake. When the earth quakes in Tebet, the king will sit in the city of his foe. When the earth quakes in Tebet, the palace of the prince will be smitten and go to ruins. When the earth quakes in the night, there will be harm to the land (or) devastation to the land. From the Chief Astrologer.



XV. Omens from Eclipses.

On the fourteenth an eclipse will take place. It is evil for Elam and Aharru, lucky for the king, my lord; let the king, my lord, rest happy. It will be seen without Venus; to the king, my lord, I say, "There will be an eclipse." From Irasshi-ilu, the servant of the king (the greater).

To the king of countries, my lord, thy servant, Bel-usur. May Bel, Nabu, and Shamash be gracious to the king, my lord! An eclipse has happened, but it was not visible in Asshur; this eclipse passed the city Asshur, wherein the king is dwelling; now there are clouds everywhere, so that whether it did or did not happen we do not know. Let the lord of kings send to Asshur, to all cities, to Babylon, Nippur, Erech, and Borsippa; whatever has been seen in those cities the king will hear for certain. The omens _____ the omen for an eclipse happened in Adar and Nisan; I send all to the king, my lord, and they shall make a nambulbi-ceremony for the eclipse. Without fail (?) let not the king omit (?) to act rightly. The great gods in the city wherein the king dwells have obscured the heaven and will not show the eclipse; so let the king know that this eclipse is not directed against the king, my lord, or his country. Let the king rejoice!
