This gematria was apparently well known p. 191

Dans le temple d'Isis encore, une inscription isopsèphe (l'un sous l'autre θεός, άγιος, αγαθός, chaque fois suivi de σπδ' = 284), et deux A Ω séparés par une croix https://www.persee.fr/doc/reg_0035-2039 ... 3_394_1120

More from Byzantinische Zeitschrift, Volume 97, Issue 2

Circa un'epigrafe greca la cui trascrizione, di mano di Nathaniel Pearce ( 1779-1 820). è conservata nel Lond. Brit. Libr. Add. 19.347. acclusa a una lettera del medesimo datata Aksum 26 settembre 1815. In essa F. riconosce l'inizio di un titolo di Salmo (Ps. 87 [88], oppure 47 [48]). seguito da σπδ' A da intendersi come isopsefia per θεός, άγιος, αγαθός. L'iscrizione sarà da attribuire al IV secolo d.C. - D'Aiuto. https://books.google.com/books?id=ZwtZA ... 8Q6AEIKTAA
