Actually, as mentioned in the comments below, this is a Greek transliteration (and so with Greek script) of the Aramaic phrase:

“King of kings” and “Lord of Lords” = 777

In Revelation 19.11-21, Jesus is described as the Divine Warrior (rider of the white horse) who has inscribed on his thigh the title, “King of kings” and “Lord of lords” (v.16). When these two titles are transcribed back into Aramaic, as shown below, the numeric equivalent of the spelling adds up to 777 (the numeric equivalent of each letter is listed below the letter). He is the antidote of the hellish warrior in 13.1 on whose heads were “blasphemous names” and the beast whose name is hidden by the number 666 (13.18). In Aramaic, “King of kings” and “Lord of lords” is written like this:
