In the year 382 CE, The Council of Rome established Biblical canon in the Catholic Church. Pope Damasus I commissioned a revision of the Vetus Latina, eventually resulting in the Vulgate of Jerome.

Whoaah, stop.

The Porsche does 391 km/h 8) I mistpyed, and you took my word for it, sheeple. Now I have to come up with the next three numbers in order to keep the post# in synch with our count :roll:

Philippus, the baptism bell in Dresden's beautifully rebuilt Fraunekirche, weighs in at 392 kg.

Aristophanes's play The Assembleywomen, first staged in 393 BC, contains the longest Classical Greek word recorded, λοπαδοτεμαχοσελαχογαλεοκρανιολειψανοδριμυποτριμματοσιλφιοκαραβομελιτοκατακεχυμενοκιχλεπικοσσυφοφαττοπεριστεραλεκτρυονοπτοκεφα-λλιοκιγκλοπελειολαγῳοσιραιοβαφητραγανοπτερύγων. As you may have guessed, the play'a comedy.

Mare Serenitatis, on the Moon, is 394 miles wide.

In the year 398, John Chrysostom became the archbishop of Constantinople.

“Vanity of vanities, all is vanity” – it is always seasonable to utter this but more especially at the present time. Where are now the brilliant surroundings of your consulship? Where are the gleaming torches? Where is the dancing, and the noise of dancers’ feet, and the banquets and the festivals? Where are the garlands and the curtains of the theatre? Where is the applause which greeted you in the city, where the acclamation in the hippodrome and the flatteries of spectators? They are gone – all gone: a wind has blown upon the tree shattering down all its leaves, and showing it to us quite bare, and shaken from its very root; for so great has been the violence of the blast, that it has given a shock to all these fibres of the tree and threatens to tear it up from the roots. Where now are your feigned friends? where are your drinking parties, and your suppers? where is the swarm of parasites, and the wine which used to be poured forth all day long, and the manifold dainties invented by your cooks? where are they who courted your power and did and said everything to win your favour? They were all mere visions of the night, and dreams which have vanished with the dawn of day: they were spring flowers, and when the spring was over they all withered: they were a shadow which has passed away – they were a smoke which has dispersed, bubbles which have burst, cobwebs which have been rent in pieces. Therefore we chant continually this spiritual song – “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

401(k)

In the United States of America, a 401(k) retirement savings plan allows a worker to save for retirement and have the savings invested while deferring current income taxes on the saved money and earnings until withdrawal. This type of plan is also known as a "traditional" 401(k).

A 403(b) is rather like a 401(k), but is offered my non-profit employers.
