ΜΥΡΙΑΣ MYRIAS or ΜΥΡΡΙΑΣ MYRRIAS = 10000
Countless = AMETRITOS ΑΜΕΤΡΗΤΟΣ
Infinite = APIROS ΑΠΕΙΡΟΣ
Numberless = ANARITHMITOS or POLYARITHMOS (TH as in Thurday)
ΑΝΑΡΙΘΜΗΤΟΣ ΠΟΛΥΑΡΙΘΜΟΣ
Greek language is very specifiv in this things.
Herodotos when he doesn´t mean specific numbers uses the term:
PLITHOS APIRON = multitute of things - people
ΠΛΗΘΟΣ ΑΠΕΙΡΟΝ
If you want to se the tems in Greek pleas use Greek windows 1253 encoding.
Liddel & Scott have the opinion of Pindaros using ΜΥΡΙΑΣ MYRIAS or ΜΥΡΡΙΑΣ MYRRIAS metaforically but it is their opinion.
Herodotus simply overdid his numbers.
Kind regards
Stefanos
