Same forms of Apollyon give five times Y, give 2000, making it all 4666.
Apollyon is in fact not only a Christian name for a demon, but one of the Pagan names of Apollon.
Hebrew tradition has a tendency to ignore the thousand figure and take only hundreds, decades and units, for instance with years after creation.
In Greek, I did not get 666 from NEPON KAIΣAP. Nor from adding the forms, nor from those of Domitian./HGL

The calculation which assigns the number 666 to Nero is based on his name and title in Hebrew letters: נרון קסר yields a numerical value of 666. But the Book of Revelation was written in Greek, so I don't know if this calculation is legitimate.
It is at least not the main clue for the end times.
I have after using ASCII more than once been told by Orthodox that the Church Fathers insisted on isopsephism (=gematria, but they didn't like to mention that) in the Greek alphabet.
It seems I recall this means, perhaps I saw quotes or sth:
* Hebrew is too little known (it needs to be applicable by anyone who knows the principle)
* Latin has too few letters numbered
* leaves Greek, all letters are numbered and (back then) well known.
Now, the principle suggests ASCII for Latin alphabet would be valid, but the material conclusion they arrived at suggests of course Greek alphabet as such.
Take a look at this too:
