SHAKESPEARE AND OVID

Gematric concordance of two tombstone inscriptions

3x4VALUES of Ovid's epigraph

1. In addendum1 and addendum2 the 4values of the whole epigraph, of the four lines and of the 26 words have been established. The question arises whether these three aspects are logically coordinated. It can be answered with a clear yes. First it may be useful to present the 4values of the poet's three names in two different combinations:

	NS	FS	sm	FV1	FV2	sm	tot.
PUBLIUS	95	53	148	24	53	77	225
OVIDIUS	94	51	145	49	20	69	214
NASO	46	31	77	25	31	56	133
	235	135	370	98	104	202	572
148:222 = 74*(2:3); 370 = 10*37; 145 = 5*29

	NS	FV	sm	FS	FV	sm	tot.
PUBLIUS	95	24	119	53	53	106	225
OVIDIUS	94	49	143	51	20	71	214
NASO	46	25	71	31	31	62	133
	235	98	333	135	104	239	572
333 = 9*37; 143 = 11*13; 572 = 4*11*13

94 has the special characteristic that its factoral Value (FV) is its inversion 49. The NS+FS 143 is four times contained in the total sum 572.

2. The second combination, in which the FV are added to their respective sums, provides the basis for Ovid's overall gematric construction in the following table:

	NS	FV	sm	FS	FV	sm	tot.	factors
text	1496	34	1530	1085	43	1028	2658	2*3*443
lines	1496	942	2438	1085	86	1171	3609	3*3*401
words	1496	530	2026	1085	538	1623	3649	41*89
sm	4488	1506	5994	3255	667	3922	9916	985
FV			51			92	143
9916 = 4*37*67 = 74*134; 5994:3922 = 74*(81:53)

37 appears several times in Ovid's three names, 74 represents the elements of two tetractyses. The FV-sum 143 reflects the NS+FS 143 of OVIDIUS.

134 and 143, understood as 13+4 and 14+3, refer to a fishlike geometrical figure consisting of 17 elements:

13+4 means 4 elements more than the left figure, 14+3 may represent (6 points and 8 lines) + 3 triangular areas.

3. The two partial sums of FV 1506+667 total 2173 = 41*53 = FV 94. There should be no doubt that Ovid wanted to find a number whose FV represented the NS 94 of his name OVIDIUS.
