611 [While this sentence is incomplete as it appears in Stanley, the number 27 represents the last number of the “second quaternary.” This “second tetractys” is formed by adding to the the number 1, the even number multiples 2, 4, and 8; then the odd number multiples of 3, 9, and 27. It is denominated by the number 27 because that is the sum of the other numbers: 1+2+3+4+8+9=27. For more on this, see The Pythagorean Sourcebook, pp. 317–19—Ed.]
