   • 12th century, Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, הלכות שגגות chapter 14:

     ‏הוֹרוּ בֵּית דִּין שֶׁיָּצָא הַשַּׁבָּת לְפִי שֶׁנִּתְכַּסֵּית הַחַמָּה וְדִמּוּ שֶׁשָּׁקְעָה וְלַסּוֹף זָרְחָה הַחַמָּה אֵין זוֹ הוֹרָיָה אֶלָּא טָעוּת‎

     horú beit dín sheyatsá hashabát l'fí shenitkasét hakhamá v'dimú sheshak'á v'lasóf zar'khá hakhamá 'éin zó horayá ela ta'út

     [If] the court ruled that the Sabbath had ended because the sun was covered and they thought it had sunk, and in the end the sun shone, this is not a ruling, but an error.
