Notes (2)
- More usually siglos than siklos (here in the accusative): see LSJ s.v., on both the Hebrew shekel which is at issue here and the Persian shekel mentioned by Xenophon (Anabasis 1.5.6).
- 1(Meaning 5 Attic drachmas.) So the transmitted text, but, as Kuster pointed out, it should be 4: Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 3.8.2; Hesychius s.v.
si/glon . ↩ - 2Exodus 39:1-3. ↩
