† sexmillennial adj. [ultimately after classical Latin sex milia six thousand (used in post-classical Latin in the Latin translation of the Epistle of St Barnabas: see below), translating ancient Greek ἑξακισχίλιοι six thousand (used in Hellenistic Greek in the Epistle of St Barnabas: see note); compare post-classical Latin sexmillennus sexmillennial (1727 in the passage translated in quot. 1728 for sexmillenary adj.)] Obsolete of six thousand years (only in sexmillennial duration of the world).The sexmillennial duration of the world is proposed in the Epistle of St Barnabas, on the basis that the world having taken God six days to create (resting on the seventh), it should thus be completed in six thousand years, as each day should represent a millennium.
