Description by Mister 13

Aersol spray on canvas. 616 (\"six hundred and sixteen\", or \"six hundred sixteen\" in American English) is believed by some to have been the original Number of the Beast in the Book of Revelation in the Christian Bible. Different early versions of the Book of Revelation gave different numbers, and 666 had been widely accepted as the original number. In 2005, however, a fragment of papyrus 115 was revealed, containing the earliest known version of that part of the Book of Revelation discussing the Number of the Beast. It gave the number as 616, suggesting that this may have been the original. The Number of the Beast is described in the passage of Revelation 13:15–18 and the actual number is only mentioned once, in verse 18. In the Greek manuscripts, the number is rendered in Greek numerical form as χξϛʹ, or sometimes literally as ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ, hexakósioi hexēkonta héx, \"six hundred and sixty-six\". There are several interpretations-translations for the meaning of the phrase \"Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast\" where the peculiar Greek word ψηφισάτω (psefisato) is used. Possible translations include not only \"to count\", \"to reckon\" but also \"to vote\" or \"to decide\".
