  1. A fixed numerical quantity in measures and totals · dominant

    In Matthew 13:8 and Mark 4:8, the accusative plural form occurs among the stated levels of fruit produced by seed on good soil. In 1 Timothy 5:9 it qualifies the age requirement for a widow, and in Luke 24:13 it occurs with the distance to Emmaus; Revelation 11:3 places it within the stated total of days for the two witnesses, while Revelation 13:18 includes it in the number to be calculated.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the number explicitly in phrases such as “sixty years old,” “sixty stadia,” and “one thousand two hundred sixty days,” and as part of “six hundred sixty-six” in Revelation 13:18. These English phrases reflect the clauses' numerical presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
