{One poor widow} (mia ch(8872)a pt(9363)h(885c)). Luke has penichra,
a poetical late form of pen(8873). In the N.T. the pt(9363)hos is the
pauper rather than the mere peasant, the extreme opposite of the
rich (plousioi). The money given by most was copper
(chalkon). {Two mites} (duo lepta). Leptos means peeled or
stripped and so very thin. Two lepta were about two-fifths of a
cent. {Farthing} (kodrantes, Latin _quadrans_, a quarter of an
_as_).
