Quote:I first have to point out -without being yet able to place the refs in their correct context- that the second one does not say 4,000 but 40,000 (at least in the TLG copy).An old Teubner edition on the Internet Archive has χιλιάδων αριθμον οντα τεσσάρων (I can't get all the diacriticals in) and presumably it was a similar text that Ridley was using. However, the apparatus makes it look as if this is an emendation. If your text is correct, it makes a tagma oνer 6600 strong.
"μυριάδων ἀριθμὸν ὄντα τεσσάρων." - "their myriad number being four"

Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
