Joshua Son of Nun
The LXX calls the book iesous tou naue. This is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Yehoshua. It is the same name used for Jesus in the New Testament. To distinguish between the two figures, English translations typically use "Joshua" for the Old Testament leader and "Jesus" for the Messiah of the New Testament.
The SP has a similar book called The Samaritan Chronicles, which resembles Joshua after the conquest of the Promised Land, but is more elaborate and continues beyond the LXX or Ezra's version (JPS). This version is extant in Samaritan Hebrew and Arabic. In modern numbering this version has 50 chapters instead of the traditional 24 chapters (which has different form and content). This Samaritan Chronicle resembles a jewish Midrash, but the earliest copy available is dated to no earlier than 1300 AD.
