ἀριθμός. P Petr IT. 1613. (middle 111,..6.) (= Witkowski®, p. 12) ἠκούσαμεν ἀριθμὸν ἔσεσθαι ἐκ τῶν ᾿Αρσινοε[ίω]ν, P Gen I. 1622 (A.D. 207) τοὶ τούτου ἀδελφοὶ ὄντες τὸν ἀριθμὸν πέντε. For the LXX ἀριθμῷ = ‘‘few” in Num 929, Ezek 1216 (Thackeray, Ο. 7. Gram. p. 39), cf. P Oxy IV. 7427 (B.c. 2) (= Witkowski’, p. 128) παράδος δέ τινι τῶν φίλων ἀριθμῳ αὐτάς (sc. δεσμάς), ‘deliver a few of them,” rather than ‘‘deliver them accurately counted” (as Wilcken αὐ. Witkowski). But note the combination in P Oxy X. 1270%6 (A.D. 159) ἀριθμῷ πλήρϊεις : so 20. 127374 (A.D. 260) with ἀριθμοῦ, and 126129 (A.p, 325). Another use appears in BGU IV. 108525 (A.D. 171) where P. M. Meyer restores περὶ τῶν... ἀρι]θμῷ τριάκοντα ἔντυχε τῷ στρατηγῷ] : ἀριθμῷ is ““α kind of rubric ”—‘‘ heading πο. 30,” or the like. ΟΟ15. 266° (iii/B.c). ὑπὲρ τῶν τὸν ἀριθμὸν ἀποδόντων τὸν κύριον, ‘as regards those who had completed the fixed number of years.” It may be worth while to call attention to Wessely’s paper on Gnostic numbers in the 4/z/¢hezJungen of the Rainer Collection 1.1. p. 113 ff.: thus 99 is the ἀριθμός of ἀμήν (a + p+ ἡ Ἐν -99) and the mystic ᾿Αβρασάξ is the number of the year, since its letters numerically total 365 (see P Leid W*¥-%). For the application of this principle to the ‘‘ nuniber” of the Beast (Rev 1318), with illustrations from Greek graffit2 from Pompeii (so before A.D. 79), see Deissmann LAZ p. 276f.: one of them is φιλῶ ἧς ἀριθμὸς dpe, “1 love her whose number is 545.” The case for a Greek rather than a Hebrew gematria in a Greek book is undeniably strong. Deissmann, /.c. refers to the dictionaries under todos. We may cite from Cagnat IV. 7437 (= C. and B. no. 232—a metrical epitaph by a Jew of the time of Alexander Severus) a good instance of the gematria in Greek—todynpos δυσὶ τούτοις Γάιος ὡς ἅγιος ὡς ἀγαθὸς προλέγω : both adjectives total 284, agreeing with the number of his own name.
