Meanings

  1. The numeric value six hundred sixty-six (666), represented by the Greek letters chi (χ 600), xi (ξ 60), and stigma (ϛ 6) used as numerals in the Greek alphabetic numeral system

    This lexeme does not occur in the New Testament text as tagged in standard critical editions. The numeric value 666 appears in Revelation 13:18 as ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ (hexakósioi hexḗkonta héx, "six hundred sixty-six," tagged under separate lexical entries for the component number words) rather than as the abbreviated alphabetic numeral form χξϛ represented by this Strong's entry.
