Theory
253edo is consistent to the 17-odd-limit, approximating the fifth by 148\253 (0.021284 cents sharper than the just 3/2), and the prime harmonics from 5 to 17 are all slightly flat. The equal temperament tempers out 32805/32768 in the 5-limit; 2401/2400 in the 7-limit; 385/384, 1375/1372 and 4000/3993 in the 11-limit; 325/324, 1575/1573 and 2200/2197 in the 13-limit; 375/374 and 595/594 in the 17-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the tertiaschis temperament, and a good tuning for the sesquiquartififths temperament in the higher limits.
