δέκα πέντε πήχεις ἐπάνω ὑψώθη τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐπεκάλυψεν πάντα τὰ ὄρη τὰ ὑψηλά.
Swete's text gives “ten, five cubits” as two separate numerals, where Brenton reads the single compound numeral “fifteen” (Πεντεκαίδεκα) — Swete's own apparatus notes that codex E reads “πεντε και δεκα,” a real, attested variation in how the ancient copies wrote this number.
