Since "pistis" means "faith" in Greek, I wonder if your phrase could be a reference to the forty martyrs of Sebaste: http://www.ewtn.com/library/MARY/40MAR.htm It might be helpful to know where you encountered this phrase. Context can tell a lot. |

Note that DDDD (four deltas) was the ancient Greek way of indicating the number 'forty': http://www.es.flinders.edu.au/~mattom/science+society/lectures/illustrations/lecture10/text6.html |
