Of a Mina.
* 1.1A Mina was a pound weight among the Iewes, and were of two sorts, one of gold, which weighed 100 Drachma's, another of siluer, weighing 240 Drachma's. These were called the antient weights, but there was a later, which is said to contain 100 Dena∣ria's or Attick Drachma's,* 1.2 which seem to be so called because of the traffick the Iews had with the Grecians, among whom it was worth 100 Attick Drachma's, i. 3 li. 2 s. 6 d. English.
Of Mina's there were 3 sorts, as appears in Ezech. 45.
The common Mina or pound (weighing 25 halfe ounces or sicles of the Temple) amounted to sixtie Drachma's, i. 37 s. 6 d.
The Kings Mina or pound (weighing 20 half oun∣ces or sicles of the temple) amounted to 80 drachmas i. 50 s.
The Mina or pound of the Temple or Sanctuarie, (which weighed 25 halfe ounces or sicles) maketh 100 Drachma's, i. 3 li. 2 s. 6 d.
