It should also be mentioned that astronomic traditions found in the AAB and the Enochic Astronomical Book are preserved and adapted in Hebrew texts from Qumran, such as 4Q317, 4Q503 and perhaps 4Q334. See Ben-Dov, Head of All Years, 76, 132–46. He has also argued (231–39) that a different type of Babylonian astronomical learning known as Lunar Three is evident in 4Q320, 4Q321 and 4Q321a. See Jonathan Ben-Dov and Wayne Horowitz, “The Babylonian Lunar Three and Calendrical Scrolls from Qumran,” za 95 (2005): 104–20.
