Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Six:

whence Eng. prefix, hex--, is used separately from other numerals in Mat 17:1; Mar 9:2; Luk 4:25; 13:14; Jhn 2:6; 12:1; Act 11:12; 18:11; Jam 5:17; Rev 4:8. It sometimes suggests incompleteness, in comparison with the perfect number seven.

Notes:

(1) In combination with tessarakonta, "forty," it occurs in Jhn 2:20; with hebdomekonta, "seventy," Act 27:37, "(two hundred) threescore and sixteen."

(2) It forms the first syllable of hexekonta, "sixty" (see below) and hexakosioi, "six hundred," Rev 13:18 (see SIXTY, Note); Rev 14:20.
