Since some have questioned the validity of the relation:
H DOPYPhOPOS MENE EI(you are satellite Moon) = 8 + 4 + 70 + 100 + 400 + 600 + 70 + 100 + 70 + 200 + 40 + 5 + 50 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 1737
Moon mean volumetric radius = 1737100 m
I will keep everything the same and change the Goddess name only. Thus instead of Mene(Moon) I will now use Selene(Moon). This (actually: SELHNH) is the name used in modern Greek for the Moon. We thus have:
H DOPYPhOPOS SELENE EI(you are satellite Moon) = 8 + 4 + 70 + 100 + 400 + 600 + 70 + 100 + 70 + 200 + 200 + 5 + 30 + 5 + 50+ 5+ + 5 + 10 = 1932
Moon perigee x a^2 = 19346 m = 19346 Pheidonian tripods = 19346 Pheidonian yards
There is a small error (0.1%) but we don't know if the Moon's trajectory was exactly the same 2500 or 4000 years ago. The conclusion is that by changing the name of the Goddess that corresponded to the same celestial body we fall from one astronomic dimension(radius) to another (minimal distance from paternal body).
