Original Word: τετρακόσιοι, αι, α
Part of Speech: Adjective
Transliteration: tetrakosioi
Phonetic Spelling: (tet-rak-os'-ee-oy,)
Definition: four hundred
Usage: four hundred.

5071 tetrakósioi(from tetra, "four" and hekaton, "a hundred") – four hundred.

Note: Scripture often uses multiplies (like "four" times "one hundred" = "400") to convey important symbolic meaning. For example, the product of these two numbers strongly signifies "universality" ("total inclusiveness").

[Ten stands for "completeness/inclusiveness," so 10² emphatically expresses "total inclusiveness" which emphasizes the already inclusive (universal) sense of four.]

Word Origin
pl. cardinal number from tessares and hekaton
