And Arphaxad lived, after he begat Salah, four hundred and three years,.... In all four hundred and thirty eight; the Vulgate Latin wrongly reads, three hundred and three:

and begat sons and daughters; not mentioned by name: he died, as the above Arabic writer z says, in the month Nisan, A. M. 2696; and a Jewish writer a says he died in the forty eighth year of Isaac, and who also says b, that in his days they began to build the city of Babel.

z Apud Ibid. p. 260. a R. Gedaliah, ut supra. (Shalshalet, fol. 1. 2.) b Ib. fol. 75. 1.
