While a natural reading can easily deuce that the recorded name of ''Alorus'' is ''Nimrod'' (See Alexander Hislop's ''Two Babylons'' concise etymological bridge{{citation needed}}). But because Berossus claims that this was before the [[Great Flood|Deluge]] some caution must be exercised; this is furthermore true becuase of his claim that ''Alorus' ''reign was for 36,000 years.
"So much concerning the wisdom of the Chaldeans.<br />"It is said that the first king of the country was Alorus, who gave out a report that he was appointed by God to be Shepherd of the people: he reigned ten sari: no a sarus is esteemed to be three thousand six hundred years; a neros six hundred; and a sossus sixty.<br />"After him Alaparus reigned three sari:"<br />(taken from the public domain, I.P. Cory Esq., ''The Ancient Fragments'', William Pickering, 1873)
