[The Samaritan version] differs from the Jewish version by 349 years; and it differs from the Septuagint translation by 935 years.  That is the end of our discussion of the period before the flood. 
.  .  . 
.  .  . 
Let us now proceed to the times after the flood.  First, let us note that the books of the Chaldaeans contain a very similar account to what is told by the Hebrews about the flood and about the ark which was built by Noah.  But because I have already written down the account which was recorded by the Chaldaeans in the appropriate place, I think it is pointless to repeat the same words here.

(87) Some proof that the flood rose above the highest mountains was given a long time afterwards to us, as we wrote this [chronicle].  We observed that, in our own times, fish had been found on top of the highest peaks of the Libanus mountains.  Some men, who had gone there to cut out stones from the mountains for building, found various kinds of sea-fish, compacted into the mud in the hollows of the mountains.  The fish had survived until the present time, as if they had been artificially preserved, and the sight of them provided evidence to us that the ancient story was true.  Let our readers believe this as they wish - but we will now proceed to the following period of time.
