| Please accept my apologies for causing confusion, I'm hoping not to offend folks. The applescript I'm trying to make will be a ".service" (using ThisService) to work with a third party Bible application.
Word one, "I" is roman numeral 1; word two, is a name of one of the books of the Bible that have a "I", "II" or "III" prefix, e.g. "I Samuel", "II Thessalonians", "III John"; word three is a chapter number, the highest of which is 36 in II chronicles. However the longest book (highest number) would be Psalms having 150 but that would be used in a different part of the script.

We would really need the probability curve of the ages you expect. If, say, your users peak around 115 y.o. I would prefer Nigel's string.
Mine was obtained by a script 20 times longer than Nigel's. The script searches if a different sort - instead of "from 120 to 1 by -1" - makes a better job and the answer is yes, 9 by 9 is better, as you may have guessed already: "... 93847566...". Also my version tests whether you have to strictly do "digits & i" or if appending one digit only out of two (or 2 out of 3) might be enough.
Best,
Emmanuel
