Abbott-Smith Greek Lexicon
ἐπτά, οἱ, αἱ, τά indecl.,
seven: Mt 12:45 18:22 (cf. ἑβδομηκοντάκις), Mk 8:5, al.; οἱ ἐ, Ac 21:8
Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ἑπτά. As we have no fresh light from our sources, it lies outside our sphere to discuss the uses of this number in the NT, but reference may be made to the notes by Allen on Mk 16%, and by Moffatt (in ΞΟ 7) on Rev 51. Note also Ac 1219 Ὁ κατέβησαν τοὺς { βαθμούς and Ey. Petr. 8 ἐπέχρισαν ἑπτὰ σφραγῖδας. MGr ἑφτά shows the aspirate in compensation for the loss (in pronunciation) of the rough breathing.
