Exegesis
The additive numeral sequence diakosiai hebdomekonta hex {διακόσιαι ἑβδομήκοντα ἕξ | di-a-kó-si-ai heb-do-mḗ-kon-ta héx} (200 + 70 + 6) yields a precise count of 276; diakosiai agrees in gender with psuchai. English translations reflect the Greek emphasis on completeness with 'in all' or 'in total' and preserve the numeral order for clarity.
