The text of Codex Ephraemi has been characterized as a "weaker brother" to the Alexandrian text exemplified by [[Codex Vaticanus]] and [[Codex Sinaiticus]]. In Revelation 13:18, Ephraemi gives the number of the beast as 616. The more familiar 666 is from [[Codex Alexandrinus]], considered the best manuscript source for Revelation.
