νόμισμα [page 429] νόμισμα in its primary sense of institutum, anything sanctioned by usage, is in classical Greek almost confined to poetry (cf. Jebb Antigone 296). We can however supply an example in the Κοινή from the petition of Dionysia, P Oxy II. 237 viii. 22 (A.D. 186), where reference is made to the fact τὰς Αἰγυπτιακὰς γυναῖκ̣α̣ς̤ κατὰ ἐνχώριον νόμι̣μ̣α ( l. νόμισμα ) κατέχειν τ̣ὰ̣ ὑπάρχο̣ν̣τ̣α̣ τ̣ω̣ν̣ ἀνδρῶν διὰ τῶν γαμικῶν συνγραφῶν , that Egyptian wives have by native Egyptian law a claim upon their husbands property through their marriage contracts (Edd.). It should be noted, however, that the reading is somewhat uncertain. With the more special sense of coin in Mat_22:19 (cf. 1Ma_15:6 ) we may compare P Tebt II. 485 (ii/B.C.) ὃς δ᾽ ἂν παρὰ ταῦτα ποιῆι τό τε ἀργυρικὸν νόμισμα καὶ τὸν ἀποτ [., P Grenf II. 77 .8 (iii/iv A.D.) (= Selections , p. 120) ἐν δραχμαῖς τριακοσίαις τεσσαράκοντα παλαιοῦ νομίσματος : see also the introd. to P Thead 33. For the form νόμιζμα see BGU I. 69 .6 (A.D. 120) ἀργυρίου σεβαστοῦ νομίζματος : cf. Deissmann BS p. 185.
