ἠριθμημέναι [2 verses](part pl perf mp fem nom ) "Numbered" is arithmeo, which means "to count," and "to number," but for the tax collector it also means "to count out," "to pay," and "to account." -- "Numbered" is the Greek source of our word "arithmetic," which means "to count," "to number," "to count out," "to pay," and "to account." It is in a form which indicates that they, as the subject, are acting on themselves, so "have accounted for themselves" or "have paid for themselves."
