Who assigned a 'numeric value' of 800 to omega? And on what grounds? That's more interesting than the number itself. Otherwise it belongs in the ''as legend has it'' file![[User:Wetman]]
IThis believe that is intended to referrefers to the ancient Greek numeration system, in which α had the value 1, β was 2, λ was 20, and so on. The word 'numeric' in 'numeric value' is linked to the article on [[Greek numerals]], which explains this. -- [[User:Dominus|Dominus]]
I agree that the remark in the article is unclear. -- [[User:Dominus|Dominus]]
