Septuagint Chronology

[Cynthia]

Does the Eastern Orthodox have a chronology of the Septuagint like the protestants have (Usshers for example)?

I have found one by a Lutheran pastor online but unfortunately many of the data choices he made were from the Masoretic Text instead of the Septuagint.

Thanks, Cynthia

Not that I know of. I'll have to research that.

@Theophilos ... Theophilos has great answers regarding the Septuagint.

The Byzantine calendar starts from the estimated date of creation from the Septuagint. Year 1 begins at September 1, 5509 BC.

That agrees with the chronology from Josephus, but it is more than 1000 years different than that based on the modern (Masoretic) Hebrew scriptures.

I appreciate your responses.

I have been working on a chronology based on the Septuagint for about 12 years. When I am finished I will post the results here.
