Quaternion [1]
Quaternion ( τετράδιον).—The word occurs only once in Nt, and then not in the Gospels ( Acts 12:4); but we know that four soldiers at a time were ordinarily told off for work in the Roman army (Vegetius, de Re Milit. iii. 8), and that there were that number in charge of our Lord’s Crucifixion ( John 19:23-24; cf. Evang. Petr. 9; see art. Coat).
