( III, 2.1, 4) However, Babylonian historical documents written long before Berossus ’ time say that Sennacherib followed his father, Sargon II, not his brother, to the throne; Esarhaddon ruled for 12 years, not 8; and Shamash - shuma - ukin ruled for 20 years, not 21.
( Babilonijas vēsture, III grāmata, 2.1, 4.) Taču babiloniešu vēsturiskajos dokumentos, kas tapuši ilgi pirms Bērosa dzīves laika, teikts, ka Sanheribs kāpa tronī pēc sava tēva, Sargona II, nevis pēc brāļa un ka Asarhadons valdīja 12, nevis 8 gadus un Šamaš - šuma - ukins — 20 gadus, nevis 21 gadu.
