We present the relation between the ($z-$ and $k-$corrected) spectral lags,$\tau$, for the standard Swift energy bands 50-100 keV and 100-200 keV and thepeak isotropic luminosity, $L_{\mathrm{iso}}$ (a relation reported first byNorris et al.), for a subset of 12 long Swift GRBs taken from a recent study ofthis relation by Ukwatta et al. The chosen GRBs are also a subset of theDainotti et al. sample, a set of Swift GRBs of known redshift, employed inestablishing a relation between the (GRB frame) luminosity, $L_X$, of theshallow (or constant) flux portion of the typical XRT GRB-afterglow light curveand the (GRB frame) time of transition to the normal decay rate,$T_{\mathrm{brk}}$. We also present the $L_X-T_{\mathrm{brk}}$ relation usingonly the bursts common in the two samples. The two relations exhibit asignificant degree of correlation ($\rho = -0.65$ for the$L_{\mathrm{iso}}-\tau$ and $\rho = -0.88$ for the $L_{X} - T_{\mathrm{brk}}$relation) and have surprisingly similar best-fit power law indices ($-1.19 \pm0.17$ for $L_{\mathrm{iso}}-\tau$ and $-1.10 \pm 0.03$ for $L_{X} -T_{\mathrm{brk}}$). Even more surprisingly, we noted that although $\tau$ and$T_{\mathrm{brk}}$ represent different GRB time variables, it appears that thefirst relation ($L_{\mathrm{iso}}-\tau$) extrapolates into the second one fortimescales $\tau \simeq T_{\mathrm{brk}}$. This fact suggests that these tworelations have a common origin, which we conjecture to be kinematic. Thisrelation adds to the recently discovered relations between properties of theprompt and afterglow GRB phases, indicating a much more intimate relationbetween these two phases than hitherto considered.
