==Later relevance== A Greek version of Alulim's name, Aloros ({{langx|grc|Ἄλωρος}}), is known from citations from [[Berossus]]' ''[[Babyloniaca (Berossus)|Babyloniaca]]''{{sfn|George|Taniguchi|Geller|2010|p=136}} preserved in the works of authors such as [[Eusebius]] and [[George Syncellus|Syncellus]].{{sfn|Peterson|2018|p=38}} Berossus' account of early kings depended on the tradition known from ''Sumerian King List''.{{sfn|Kvanvig|2011|p=83}} He states that Aloros reigned for 36000 years and was succeeded by Alaparos ({{langx|grc|αλαπαρος}}), presumed to be an adaptation of [[Alalngar|Alalgar]].{{sfn|Finkel|1980|p=71}} His writings were later partially [[Euhemerism|euhemerized]] by [[Annianus of Alexandria|Annianus]], who combined his account with traditions pertaining to [[Enoch]] and with [[Genesis 6]].{{sfn|van Bladel|2009|p=145}} His work was in turn an influence on the writings of the astrologer [[Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi]] and on [[Al-Biruni]]'s ''Qānūn'', cited as sources in [[Minhaj-i Siraj Juzjani]]'s [[Tabaqat-i Nasiri]] (written in 1259–1260), where a derivative of Aloros, Aylūrūs ({{langx|ar|الوروس}}), is presented as the first king of the people standing in opposition to [[Giant (Biblical)|giants]].{{sfn|van Bladel|2009|pp=145-146}} Juzjani in his account equates him with [[Keyumars|Gayūmart]].{{sfn|van Bladel|2009|p=155}}
