Latin

Rectius est ut AMEN tipheret dicat et regnum, ut per uiam numeri ostenditur, quam quod dicat regnum tantum, ut quidam uolunt.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 27830

Apparatus (Farmer): 1487 Amen. thipheret

English

It is more correct to say that AMEN denotes both Tiferet and kingdom, as the way of number shows, than to say, with some, that it denotes kingdom alone.

Farmer's note reads this as a planned gematria proof of the interconvertibility of AMEN, Tiferet (the sixth sefirah) and kingdom (the tenth); since Pico elsewhere ties Tiferet, 'the great Adam', to Christ, the equation would carry a Christological weight (farmer1998:27858).
