Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

δηνάριον [page 145] Ostr 1265 .5 (A.D. 187) ἔλαβον παρὰ σοῦ ἀπὸ τιμῆς οἴνου [Κο ]λοφωνίου δηνάρια δύο ὀβολοὶ ( l. ὀβολοὺς ) ὀκτώ . In Syll 869 .14 (Imperial) θρέψει δὲ καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ Ἀσφ [αλῇ καὶ ] Νουμηνίῳ ἑκάστῳ θρέμμα ἄρρεν , ἢ ἑκάστῳ αὐτῶν ἀνὰ δην (άρια ) ν̄ : cf. Mat_20:10 ἔλαβον [τὸ ] ἀνὰ δηνάριον καὶ αὐτοί . In his note on P Lond 248 .21 ( c. A.D. 346) (= II. p. 306) the editor remarks that the term denarius replaces that of drachma , which was regularly in use before the time of Diocletian; the Neronian denarius reintroduced by Diocletian being reckoned as equivalent to the drachma, and as .1 / 6000 of the talent. In P Gen I. 11 .14 (A.D. 350), according to the emended reading (Preisigke Berichtigungsliste i. p. 158), we have ἐπελευ [σόμενος ἐκτίσ ]ι τῷ ἑτέρῳ ὑπὲρ στροφῆς καὶ ἐπηρίας λ̣ο̣γου ἀργυ̣ρίο̣υ̣ δ [ην ]αρ [ί ]ων μυρι̣άδας κτλ .
