I am interested in finding out whether this is a characteristic of
Christian writing in Greek. Does anyone know, please, whether
manuscripts of Classical Greek literature use ciphers for numbers? Where
can I read about this (apart from ploughing through facsimiles of
manuscripts!)?
Also, does anyone know how the Greek ciphers for larger numbers are
worked out?! Maybe mathematics and B-Greek have something in common
after all?!
