Missing Quotation Mark

Quoted text:

“It arcs down to the 6th month. At the nadir of the circle is the tritone. Here is where the extra days go. In Egypt, for instance, there are 5 of them, that lie “outside the year.”

This appears to be a speculation by the author, but a close-quotation mark appears to be missing. Do you know if this is a sourced quotation we can cite, or can we remove the unmatched open-quotation mark?
