Possible missing sense: ancient coins[edit]

Chambers 1908 says that this word is "the Biblical rendering for two names of coins, one the fourth part of the other: assarion, used as the Greek equivalent of the Latin as, and kodrantes (Latin quadrans), a coin equivalent to two lepta." Equinox 22:17, 16 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
