SILEX Entry

Definition

To count, reckon, or include as part of a group; to enumerate or register among a set. In various contexts, καταριθμέω describes the act of formally recognizing someone or something as belonging to a particular category, group, or total, often following an explicit process of counting or listing.

Semantic Range

to count among, to reckon among, to include in a group, to enroll, to register, to number with, to enumerate as part of a whole

Root / Etymology

From κατα- (kata-, meaning 'down,' 'according to,' or used as an intensive prefix) and ἀριθμέω (arithmeō, 'to count, to number'), ultimately related to the noun ἀριθμός ('number').

Historical & Contextual Notes

In classical Greek, the verb ἀριθμέω is used for 'to count' or 'to number,' while καταριθμέω intensifies this by implying inclusion within a group or list. In the Septuagint, καταριθμέω is frequently used for rendering Hebrew terms denoting formal counting or enrollment (such as פקד or ספר). In the New Testament (e.g., Luke 22:37 and Acts 1:26), the word appears in contexts involving official inclusion or punitive association ('numbered among transgressors'). English translations usually render it as 'to number with' or 'to reckon among,' but may not always capture the context of formal categorization, enrollment, or the nuanced distinction from simple counting. Its use is typically formal and administrative, as opposed to the more general or mathematical sense of ἀριθμέω or the broader sense of λογίζομαι ('to consider, reckon').

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

from κατά and ἀριθμέω; to reckon among:--number with.
