After the flood, according to the Septuagint translation 
. 
. 
In the second year [after the flood], Shem the son of Noah became the father of Arphaxad, and lived for another 500 years, until the 101st year of Peleg. 
. 
. 
Arphaxad became the father of Shelah when he was 135 years old, and lived for another 403 years, until the 9th year of Reu. 
. 
. 
Shelah became the father of Eber when he was 130 years old, and lived for another 406 years, until the 7th year of Serug. 
. 
. 
Eber became the father of Peleg when he was 134 years old, and lived for another 433 years, until the 38th year of Nahor. 
. 
. 
Peleg became the father of Reu when he was 130 years old, and lived for another 209 years, until the 75th year of Serug. 
.  .  .  .  . 
.  .  .  .  . 
In the days of Peleg, the land was divided up, and therefore the name Peleg means “division” in the Hebrew language.  Peleg [was the second man who] died before his father.  In his time, the tower [of Babel] was built; men began to speak many different languages, instead of the common language which they had used before; and each nation had its own language, as the Holy Scriptures say [ Genesis, 11'5-9 ].  (89) Gentile writers also tell the same story; Alexander Polyhistor mentions it in his book about the Chaldaeans, and Abydenus also gives a similar account.  I have already recorded what they say in my account of the Chaldaeans. 
. 
. 
After Peleg, Reu became the father of Serug when he was 135 years old, and lived for another 207 years, until the 77th year of Nahor. 
. 
. 
Serug became the father of Nahor when he was 130 years old, and lived for another 200 years, until the 51st year of Abraham. 
. 
. 
Nahor became the father of Terah when he was 79 years old, and lived for another 119 years, until the 49th year of Serug. 
. 
. 
Terah became the father of Abraham when he was 70 years old, and lived for another 135 years, until the 35th year of Isaac. 
. 
. 
The first year of Abraham, who was the forefather of the Jewish nation. 
. 
. 
In his time, Ninus and Semiramis ruled over Assyria and the whole of Asia. 
.  .  . 
.  .  . 
From the flood up until the first year of Abraham, there are 942 years.  From Adam up until the flood, 2,242 years.  In total, 3,184 years.
