I’m hoping to see facsimiles of the earliest manuscripts of Rev 13:18, where the number 600, 60 and 6 is mentioned.

There’s a myriad of translations, but I’m interested in how the number was written in the earliest manuscripts, because of this statement:

Mr. Walid Shoebat, a purported former PLO terrorist now Christian
evangelist, says that when he saw the Greek symbols for 666 in the
original manuscripts, he immediately recognized these as the Arabic
character “bismillah,” which means “in the name of Allah.”
