rwp@Mark:12:42 @{One poor widow} (\mia chra ptch\). Luke has \penichra\, a poetical late form of \pens\. In the N.T. the \ptchos\ 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_).
