Patristic A.D. 397
“Lastly, the numbering of the hairs is not to be taken with reference to the act of reckoning, but to the capability of knowing. Yet they are well said to be numbered, because those things which we wish to preserve we number.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 12:4-7
