1 δραχμή
δραχμή, ῆς ἡ (s. δρασσομαι; Hdt.+; loanw. in rabb.; lit. ‘as much as one can hold in one’s hand’) drachma, a Greek silver coin, combining weight and value; varying in weight and value in all Gk. currencies, depending on currency standards, times, and social circumstances Lk 15:8f (Dio Chrys. 70 [20], 5 concern over the loss of just one drachma). Its purchasing power was by no means insignificant; acc. to Demetr. of Phal. (300 B.C.): 228 Fgm. 22 Jac. it was the price of a sheep, or one-fifth the price of an ox. Under specially favorable circumstances it was even possible to buy a whole ox for one drachma, or a slave for four: Appian, Mithrid. 78 §344. Conversely, the soldiers of Mark Antony look upon a gift of 100 dr. per man as proof of stinginess, acc. to Appian, Bell. Civ. 3, 43 §177.
