We consider mixing of the antidecuplet with three JP = 1/2+ octets (the ground-state octet, the octet containing N(1440), {lambda}(1600), {sigma}(1660) and {xi}(1690) and the octet containing N(1710), {lambda}(1800), {sigma}(1880) and {xi}(1950)) in the framework of approximate flavor SU(3) symmetry and in the limit of small mixing angles. We give general expressions for the partial decay widths of all members of the antidecuplet as functions of the two mixing angles and {gamma}{theta}+ and {sigma}{pi}N. Identifying N10 with the N(1670) observed by the GRAAL experiment, we show that the considered mixing scenario can accommodate all present experimental and phenomenological information on the {theta}+ and N10 decays: {theta}+ could be as narrow as 1 MeV; the N10 {yields} N{eta} decay is sizable, while the N10 {yields} N{pi} decay is suppressed and the N10 {yields} {lambda}K decay is possibly suppressed. Constraining the mixing angles by the N10 decays, we make definite predictions for the {sigma}10 decays. We point out that {sigma}10 with mass near 1770 MeV could be searched for in the available data on KSp invariant mass spectrum, which already revealed the {theta}+ peak. It is important to experimentally verify the decay properties of {sigma}(1770) because its mass and JP = 1/2+ make it an attractive candidate for {sigma}10.
