The number 888 in gematria

Significance in the sources
In Greek, Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous, Jesus) is Ι 10 + η 8 + σ 200 + ο 70 + υ 400 + ς 200 = 888. A Christian passage of the Sibylline Oracles presents the name as a riddle: eight units, eight tens and eight hundreds (Sibylline Oracles 1.324–331). This is Greek isopsephy, not Hebrew gematria; the Hebrew words below simply share the value.
