Here is a standard table of the numeric values for gematria in the Roman alphabet.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I |
| J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |
| S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z |
The Roman gematria system is unlike the Greek and Hebrew systems, in which many letters have values greater than 10 and even greater than 100. In those systems a word can easily have a two-, three- or even four-digit value. (For example, the Hebrew word aretz, (ארץ), “earth”, has a value of 1101.)
In Roman-alphabet gematria, however, it is common to subject any value greater than 9 to Pythagorean Reduction, in which the digits of the number are recursively added to each other until a final value from 1 to 9 is derived. For example, starting from the value 798, the calculation would run as follows:
7 + 9 + 8 = 24
2 + 4 = 6
for a final value of 6.
