¹) values ​​are summed up; they are not listed as sum in the chronology.
²) $n=270$ years are subtracted (see below).
³) Sic.

No summed values ​​are given between Sem and Seniores. Here it is suggested to continue the summation and to subtract the $n=270$ years to Nachor, this results in (1) a difference of only $n=3$ years (3909 vs. 3912) at the point of Chusarathem anni, from where the chronology continues. Although this approach may be speculative, one could find justification in (2) the obvious implausibility of $n=270$ years of life in a period after Noë and (3) in the ambiguity of the historical person of Nachor from the Sumerian era between UR I and UR III himself:

[...] Nachor war der Name des Vaters von Thare und dessen zweiten Sohnes. Demnach war ein Nachor Grossvater und Bruder Abrams. In späteren Profanurkunden ist der Name sowohl als Personenname als auch als Stadtname verschiedentlich erwähnt [...]", (Schneider, 1952, p. 519).

Nachor was the name of the father of Thare and his second son. Accordingly, a Nachor was Abram's grandfather and brother. In later profane documents the name is mentioned variously both as a personal name and as a city name.

However, if (4) Abraham's brother were meant, a time difference of $n=270$ years could be considered plausible but would not be included in the calculation (c.f. Pinches, 1911; Frayne, 1997, 2021)
