In historical numeral systems

Egyptian

6 coils of rope, 2 hobbles, 6 strokes

6 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 6 × 1 = 626. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

1 corner wedge (sixties place), 2 corner wedges + 6 vertical wedges (units place)

10 × 60 + 26 = 626. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.

Greek (Ionic)

chi, then kappa, then stigma, marked as a numeral

chi-kappa-stigma + keraia

chi + kappa + stigma written in descending order and added — the letters carry their values wherever they stand, so this is addition, not place value.

Hebrew numerals

tav, then resh, then kaf, then vav

tav-resh-kaf-vav

tav (400) + resh (200) + kaf (20) + vav (6) = 626, written in descending order.

Systems that simply cannot reach this value are left out. Where a script needs a font most readers do not have, the reading is given instead of the glyphs — see number systems for each system in full.
