	Decimal - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		It is the most widely used numeral system, perhaps because a human usually has four fingers and a thumb on each hand, giving a total of ten digits on both hands.
		Decimal notation is the writing of numbers in the base-ten numeral system, which uses various symbols (called digits) for ten distinct values (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9) to represent numbers.
		The symbols for the digits in common use around the globe today are called Arabic numerals by Europeans and Indian numerals by Arabs, the two groups' terms both referring to the culture from which they learned the system.

		The symbol is a member of a family of marks, such as letters, figures, or words, which alone or in a group represent the members of a numeration system.
		The earliest numerals were undoubtedly marks used to make a tally of a count of a number of acts or objects, one mark per object.
		The numerals are made up of three symbols: zero (egg shape), one (a dot), and five (a horizontal bar).

	Attic numerals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Attic numerals were used by ancient Greeks, possibly from the 7th century BC.
		They are also known as acrophonic numerals because all of the symbols used (except for 1) derive from the first letters of the words for 'five', 'ten', 'hundred', 'thousand' and 'ten thousand'.
		The use of Η for 100 reflects the early date of this numbering system: Η (Eta) in the early Attic alphabet represented h whereas in classical Greek it came to be used for ē, and the spiritus asper was invented to represent h.

	Greek Numbers and Arithmetic
		The earliest numerical notation used by the Greeks was the Attic system.

	Introduction to Arithmetic: Numbers and History of Numbers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The numerical notation for small numbers was quite simple; one was represented by a short, straight, vertical stroke, or wedge, two to nine by two to nine short strokes, 10 by an angle, and 100 by a short vertical wedge followed by a short horizontal wedge (see Diagram 4).
		These numerals were often combined with the symbol for 5 to create numerals for numbers such as 15, 50, 500, and 5000.
		The cumbersome Roman numerals were inadequate for writing out the large and complicated numbers used in astronomy and, increasingly, in other branches of science, and the invention in the early 17th century of logarithms finally ended their use.

		The Milesian numeric system has the same basis as the Hebrew: 9 letters are assigned to each of the units 1-9, 9 letters to the tens 10-90, and 9 letters to the hundreds 100-900.
		As a result, the numeric versions of the characters drifted away from their original natures—aided by the fact that the numerals got uncial and thence lowercase versions as they were incorporated into the mediaeval development of the Greek script, whereas the archaic letters remained frozen on stone, and forgotten by the scribes.
		The identification of the Ionic letter with the numeral is conjectural, and Jeffery herself titles the letter "sampi" in scare-quotes, because she does not believe that was the original name of the letter.

		In the present invention, an attic exhaust fan is used to draw air through the attic space from a remote inlet and thereby apply the negative attic air pressure through ceiling openings or crevices.
		For such attic ventilation, I provide an electric fan 60, powered by conventional wiring, not shown, and mounted at the interior side of an attic exhaust vent 61 which is equipped with a rain cap 62.
		Since the attic exhaust fan 60 is useful under conditions when the furnace blower 35 is not operating, it is preferably actuated by conventional attic ventilation controls, independently of the blower 35.

		Starting in the 4th century BC, the Attic numerals were replaced with a quasi-decimal alphabetic system, sometimes called the Ionic numeral system.
		The alphabetic system operates on the additive principle in which the numeric values of the letters are added together to form the total.

		The modern system of numeration is based on place value, with the same symbol, such as 4, taking on different meaning (4, 40, 400, etc.) depending on its location within the representation of the number.
		The Hindu-Arabic numeration system was known in Europe by 1000, but at first it didn't make much of a dent in the use of Roman numerals.
		The numerals actually used in Arabic script, the true Arabic numerals, are of different forms; see Islamicity.com for a more complete discussion.

		Numerals not covered by initials due to ambiguity were handled by ligatures: 50 (πεντήκοντα) was formed as a delta nested inside a pi (5 tens).
		This means that there was a case for and against including those characters in any proposal: their typography distinguishes them from the letters, but conceptually they are the same letter, and the distinction is modern editorial, not inherent in the inscription.

	SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-SIX BUT NOT 666
		Against the Numerical Representation 666 Perhaps the most famous (or infamous) number in the entire Bible is the strange number six hundred sixty-six, the number of one of the beasts in the thirteenth chapter of the Book of Revelation.
		Summary This study has attempted to argue against using the anachronistic numerical representation 666 for the number of the beast in Rev 13:18 because such a representation could not have been made for many centuries after the Book of Revelation was written.
		Although the numbers for the areas were written in Arabic numerals, the labels beside the names of the regions used Greek letters: alpha, beta, etc. Interestingly, at the sixth location the two greek letters (sigma) and (tau) were used, obviously from the old stigma.

	Attic Greek Numerals > Jesus8880
		The ancient Greeks were the first people to invent alphabetic numerals about 850 BC.
		This system of numeration is called Attic because it was widely used by the Athenian Greeks in the province of Attica.
		The numerals are called "acrophonic" (akro meaning "topmost" and phone meaning "voice") because the initial sound of each letter-numeral had the same initial sound of the first letter of the Greek word that stood for the number in question.
