263 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 263edt or 263ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 263 equal parts of about 7.23 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/263, or the 263rd root of 3.

263edt is related to 166edo, but with the perfect twelfth instead of the octave tuned just. Unlike 166edo, which is consistent to the 14-integer-limit, 263edt is only consistent to the 13-integer-limit, even though it has an overall more balanced tuning profile, with some harmonics tuned flat and others tuned sharp.
