Trobisch, p. 53, gives a list as follows:

Rom. 34,410
1 Cor. 32,767
2 Cor. 22,280
Gal. 11,091
Eph. 12,012
Phil. 8,009
Col. 7,897
1 Th. 7,423
2 Th. 4,055
1 Tim. 8,869
2 Tim. 6,538
Titus 3,733
Phlm. 1,575
Heb. 26,382
Total 187,041

It occurs to me that you really cannot be researching
this question and do a thorough job without having
access to Trobisch's little book. His first chapter
that he put on the Internet is not enough.

According to the first chapter this is the number of characters. I asked
for the number of words. And you're right about the whole book, which is
why a copy is on it's way to me as I write.
