1 × 1,000 + 3 × 100 + 7 × 10 + 9 × 1 = 1,379. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
2 corner wedges + 2 vertical wedges (sixties place), 5 corner wedges + 9 vertical wedges (units place)
22 × 60 + 59 = 1379. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
