(4) The hundred and twenty “sars”, or 432,000 years assigned by Berossus for the duration of the Antediluvian dynasty, are distributed as follows among the ten kings; the numbers are given below first in “sars”, followed by their equivalents in years within brackets:  1.  Ten “sars” (36,000); 2.  Three (10,800); 3.  Thirteen (46,800); 4.  Twelve (43,200); 5.  Eighteen (64,800); 6.  Ten (36,000); 7.  Eighteen (64,800); 8.  Ten (36,000); 9.  Eight (28,800); 10.  Eighteen (64,800).

For comparison with Berossus it may be useful to abstract from the Sumerian Dynastic List the royal names occurring in the earliest extant dynasties.  They are given below with variant forms from duplicate copies of the list, and against each is added the number of years its owner is recorded to have ruled.  The figures giving the total duration of each dynasty, either in the summaries or under the separate reigns, are sometimes not completely preserved; in such cases an x is added to the total of the figures still legible.  Except in those cases referred to in the foot-notes, all the names are written in the Sumerian lists without the determinative for “god”.
