If you like I can say that R'Hisda explains the Mishnah here in the same way as R'Zera, since R'Zera said [that it<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The statement ON THE FIRST OF TISHRI IS THE NEW YEAR FOR YEARS.');"><sup>14</sup></span> means], for reckoning cycles,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the cycle of Tishri is the first of the four cycles of the year, v. infra p. 43, n. 9.

Tosefta Rosh Hashanah (Lieberman)

At the beginning of the year, all who have come into the world are passing before him [god] as a military unit; because it says: "He created their heart together" etc. And it says [further]: "Blow the horn on the new moon, at the full moon of our festival". And it says [further]: "For this is the statute of Israel, the law of the God of Jacob".
