A Little Fish
ΙΧΘΥΣ — the acrostic, not the animal
unknown — scratched into catacomb stone by hands that never signed their names
A whole confession, small enough to scratch into a wall in a hurry.

Why these numbers
The game's own explanation, as a reader sees it in the backpack.
Small on purpose. This is the whole idea in one word, and the word is short.
Quick, and easy to lose in open water — which was rather the point, for the people who first drew it on a wall.
Cited for this book
ΙΧΘΥΣ — Greek for "fish" — spells Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior, one letter per word. Tertullian took the pun further than a password: Christians are the little fish, born in the water their Lord is named for, and unable to live anywhere else.
