The number system in use at that time could express numbers up to a myriad (μυριάς — 10,000), and by utilizing the word myriad itself, one can immediately extend this to naming all numbers up to a myriad myriads (10 8). [3] Archimedes called the numbers up to 10 8 "first order" and called 10 8 itself the "unit of the second order".

The Muslims renamed the suit of myriads as cups; this may have been due to seeing a Chinese character for "myriad" upside-down. The Chinese numeral character for Ten on the Tens of Myriads suit may have inspired the Muslim suit of swords. [3] Another clue linking these Chinese, Muslim, and European cards are the ranking of certain suits.
