I see no difference.
ARIQMOS is singular.

Onderwerp: [B-Greek] Ways of Expressing Numerical Value 666
We have been discussing the manuscripts in Rev. 13.18, and we have two ways
of expressing the number 666 (although I am aware that some MSS say 616).
KAI hO ARIQMOS AUTOU EXAKOSIOI EXHKONTA hEX
or
KAI hO ARIQMOS AUTOU CXF (the final letter being stigma)
My question is, is there any substantive difference in these renderings?
Could a case be made that the latter rendering could be translated as 600,
60, 6, whereas the former can only be translated as 666?
