For the respective values of these coins, see the Tables. The tetradrachm in later times was called stater(Phot. s. v. 2T<rn7p ; Hesych. s. v. Tkavnes Aau-piwTiKai : Matth. xxvii. 27) ; but it has beendoubted whether it bore that name in the flourish-ing times of the republic. (Hussey, Ibid. p. 49.)We know that stater, in writers of that age, usually signifies a gold coin, equal in value totwenty drachmae [Stater] ; but there appearstrong reasons for believing that the tetradrachm, even in the age of Thucydides and Xenophon, wassometimes called by this name.

The average weight of the Aeginetan drachma, calculated by Mr. Hussey (pp. 59, 60) from thecoins of Aegina and Boeotia, was 96 grains. It DUODECIM TABULARUM LEX. ECCLESIA. 439 contains about ^-nd part of the weight alloy.Hence its value is 93 grains of pure silver, or, as before, -J^- of a shilling; that is, Is. la?. 32* 807 farthings. The largest coin of the Aeginetan stan-dard appears to have been the didrachma, and thevalues of the different coins of this standard willbe found in the Tables. The proportion of
