rv = ERFA.epb(dj1, dj2)

Julian Date to Besselian Epoch.

Given:

   dj1,dj2    double     Julian Date (see note)

Returned (function value):

              double     Besselian Epoch.

Note:

   The Julian Date is supplied in two pieces, in the usual ERFA
   manner, which is designed to preserve time resolution.  The
   Julian Date is available as a single number by adding dj1 and
   dj2.  The maximum resolution is achieved if dj1 is 2451545.0
   (J2000.0).
