a. 500 C.E., Babylonian Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 11a:רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר: מִנַּיִן שֶׁבְּתִשְׁרֵי נוֹלְדוּ אָבוֹת? שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ אֶל הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה כׇּל אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּיֶרַח הָאֵיתָנִים בֶּחָג״, יֶרַח שֶׁנּוֹלְדוּ בּוֹ אֵיתָנֵי עוֹלָם.- Rabbí Eli'ézer omér: Mináyin she-b-Tishréi noldú avót? She-ne'emár: "Va-yikahalú el ha-mélekh Shlomó kol ish Yisraél b-yéraḥ ha-Eytaním be-ḥag" — yéraḥ she-noldu bo eitanéi 'olám.
- Rabbi Eliezer says: How do we derive that the patriarchs were born in Tishrei? From where it is written, "And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim" — that is, the month when the mighty of the world were born.
