Since John wrote in Greek, that’s not the sequence either!

Reply: Good point! I think there’s actually some question about the original language of composition—it might have been Aramaic—but you are surely right that it wasn’t Latin. Trouble is, I don’t know how to do Greek or Aramaic numerals in HTML.

The Greek text doesn’t use numerals of any kind; it spells the number out: hexakosioi hexêkonta hex.
