Translation
It has two meanings: the customary habit -- as Aristophanes in Clouds [says], "we have no custom"; and the impression of the stamped bronze [coin]. The people of Byzantium used thin coins.

Νόμισμα· δύο σημαίνει· τὸ νόμιμον ἔθος· ὡς Ἀριστοφάνης ἐν Νεφέλαις, ἡμῖν νόμισμ' οὐκ ἔστι· καὶ τὸ κόμμα τοῦ τετυπωμένου χαλκοῦ. λεπτῷ δὲ νομίσματι ἐχρῶντο οἱ Βυζάντιοι.
