א=1 · Α=1

LITIn Hebrew and Greek, letters were the numerals (alef = 1 … tav = 400; alpha = 1 … omega = 800). Words therefore had sums, called gematria (Hebrew) or isopsephy (Greek). Pompeii graffiti has one: "I love her whose number is 545." Revelation's 666 is often read as a gematria of "Nero Caesar" in Hebrew letters (נרון קסר = 50+200+6+50+100+60+200 = 666). The variant 616 matches the Latin spelling without the final nun (666 − 50).

FOLKFinding hidden meaning by matching sums is unfalsifiable: with enough words, many collide. The page counts collisions live in a random lexicon to show how easy coincidences are.
