Notes and References
"... Quite surprisingly, the Septuagint rather than the Samaritan Pentateuch includes by far the largest number of harmonizations in Leviticus, especially in pluses. Altogether, the LXX contains 281 instances of harmonization, followed by the Samaritan text with 108 and the Masoretic text with a mere twenty-five instances ... In all of the Torah, the source that contains the largest number of harmonizations is the LXX. Possibly an equally large number was once contained in the pre-Samaritan scrolls, but at this point we only have fragmentary information for them ... The Septuagint stands out not only regarding the number of its harmonizations, but also in relation to their nature. The harmonizations in that source are more extensive than those in the Samaritan and Masoretic text ..."
