with_o its_o appoint_a alloy_n there_o be_v coin_v in_o gold_n coin_n the_o value_n of_o 3_o pound_n sterling_a 14_o shilling_n and_o 2_o penny_n which_o be_v express_v in_o shilling_n and_o decimal_n thereof_o thus_o sh._n 74.1664_o wherefore_o suppose_v the_o daric_a gold_n and_o we_o of_o the_o same_o goodness_n we_o may_v find_v its_o value_n in_o our_o money_n by_o this_o analogism_n as_o the_o ounce_n troy_n which_o be_v 480_o grain_n be_v to_o the_o doric_a which_o be_v 132_o grain_n so_o be_v sh._n 74.166_o to_o sh._n 20.395_o the_o four_o term_n show_v that_o the_o daric_a amount_n to_o 20_o shilling_n and_o about_o 4_o penny_n which_o be_v about_o a_o three_o part_n of_o a_o shilling_n and_o by_o the_o same_o method_n the_o whole_a sum_n of_o darics_n which_o we_o translate_v drachm_n in_o ezra_n may_v be_v compute_v hottinger_n have_v suggest_v that_o darchemon_n be_v derive_v from_o a_o ancient_a persian_a word_n dram_n signify_v both_o a_o coin_n and_o a_o weight_n of_o twelve_o cherats_n what_o those_o be_v he_o inform_v we_o not_o but_o i_o find_v in_o arias_n montanus_n de_fw-fr siclo_fw-la the_o arabian_a cherat_o to_o be_v derive_v from_o the_o hebrew_n gerah_n by_o a_o usual_a change_n of_o g_z into_z ch_z and_o that_o it_o signify_v a_o siliqua_fw-la or_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o carob_n tree_n and_o that_o he_o weigh_v twenty_o such_o against_o his_o shekel_n and_o find_v they_o equal_v thereunto_o hence_o i_o gather_v that_o each_o cherat_o weigh_v 11_o grain_n troy_n and_o therefore_o twelve_o of_o they_o amount_v to_o 132_o grain_n which_o agree_v with_o our_o former_a investigation_n of_o the_o daric_a and_o show_v the_o persian_a drachm_n to_o be_v just_o double_a to_o the_o attic_a now_o though_o i_o know_v such_o a_o cherat_o differ_v much_o from_o the_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o dioscorides_n and_o cleopatra_n yet_o in_o this_o estimate_n of_o a_o eastern_a coin_n i_o prefer_v arias_n montanus_n his_o eye_n and_o his_o scale_n attest_v the_o weight_n of_o a_o siliqua_fw-la or_o cherat_o before_o the_o testimony_n of_o those_o fragment_n which_o in_o many_o instance_n be_v corrupt_v because_o the_o roman_a coin_n mention_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v some_o relation_n to_o the_o shekel_n be_v several_a of_o they_o often_o exchange_v for_o it_o and_o all_o of_o they_o part_n of_o the_o roman_a ounce_n which_o we_o have_v show_v to_o be_v two_o shekel_n i_o shall_v brief_o on_o this_o occasion_n state_n their_o weight_n and_o value_v reduce_v to_o we_o the_o only_a silver_n coin_n of_o the_o roman_n there_o speak_v of_o be_v the_o denarius_fw-la which_o under_o the_o caesar_n in_o who_o time_n christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n live_v be_v a_o little_a less_o than_o the_o

be_v about_o 60_o grain_n of_o our_o troy_n ounce_n hence_o their_o value_n in_o proportion_n to_o our_o money_n which_o now_o have_v 62_o penny_n in_o a_o ounce_n troy_n be_v 7_o penny_n 3_o farthing_n the_o other_o roman_a coin_n mention_v in_o scripture_n be_v copper_n and_o be_v all_o know_a part_n of_o the_o roman_a as_o or_o assis_n which_o before_o and_o long_o after_o christ_n time_n be_v just_o half_a a_o roman_a ounce_n and_o so_o equal_a in_o weight_n to_o the_o shekel_n but_o its_o value_n be_v but_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o denarius_fw-la which_o be_v in_o our_o money_n but_o three_o farthing_n and_o a_o ten_o of_o a_o farthing_n thus_o write_v f_z 3_o 1._o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o assarium_fw-la mention_v matth._n 10.29_o which_o be_v determine_v

may_v be_v call_v sum_n of_o shekel_n i._o the_o talon_n ii_o the_o maneh_n i._o a_o talon_n be_v 3000_o shekel_n as_o may_v be_v collect_v by_o halve_v the_o number_n of_o the_o israelite_n because_o

exod._n 38.25_o 26._o that_o these_o amount_v to_o 100_o talent_n with_o 1775_o shekel_n more_o wherefore_o that_o number_n which_o divide_v 301775_o will_v quote_v 100_o and_o leave_v 1775_o in_o remainder_n be_v the_o number_n of_o shekel_n in_o a_o talon_n but_o only_o 3000_o will_n do_v this_o therefore_o 3000_o shekel_n be_v a_o talon_n hence_o we_o may_v easy_o reduce_v the_o talon_n to_o

which_o number_n divide_v by_o 16_o the_o ounce_n of_o a_o pound_n averdupoise_v give_v the_o pound_n averdupoise_v in_o a_o talon_n thus_o 16_o 1500_o 93.75_o the_o quote_v show_v that_o 93_o pound_n

of_o a_o single_a shekel_n as_o inconsiderable_a but_o now_o be_v to_o be_v multiply_v by_o 3000_o they_o will_v grow_v considerable_a and_o give_v the_o penny_n of_o a_o talon_n to_o be_v 84862.5_o these_o divide_v by_o 12_o give_v the_o shilling_n thereof_o 7071.875_o the_o shilling_n and_o decimal_n thereof_o divide_v by_o 20_o give_v the_o pound_n sterling_a and_o part_n thereof_o l._n 353.59375_o the_o decimal_n be_v equal_a to_o 11_o shilling_n 10_o penny_n halfpenny_n 2._o a_o talon_n of_o gold_n may_v hence_o be_v value_v compendious_o thus_o gold_n be_v now_o to_o silver_n of_o

high_o second_o and_o last_o by_o help_n of_o the_o shekel_n we_o come_v to_o understand_v the_o jewish_a maneh_n which_o be_v a_o round_a number_n of_o shekel_n but_o with_o some_o variety_n in_o
