Coiners who mint silver also divide the bes of the lesser weights in the same
way as the greater weights; our people, indeed, divide it into sixteen sem
uncíae, and the semuncia into eighteen units of four silíquae each.

There are ten weights which are placed in the other pan of the balance,
when they weigh the silver which remains from the copper that has been
consumed, when they assay the alloy with fire.

The 2nd = 8 semuncíae.
The 3rd = 4 semuncíae.
The 4th = 2 semuncíae.
The 5th = 1 semuncíae.
For they divide the bes in
the same way as our own people, but since they
divide the semuncía into four drachmae,
divide the semuncía into four drachmae,
the 6th weight = 2 drachmae.
the 7th weight = 1 drachma or

The men of Cologne and Antwerp43
divide the bes into twelve
units of
five drachmae and one scrípulum, which weights they call nummi. Each
of these they again divide into twenty-four units of four siliquae each,
which they call grenlíns. They have ten weights, of which
five drachmae and one scrípulum, which weights they call nummi. Each
of these they again divide into twenty-four units of four siliquae each,
which they call grenlíns. They have ten weights, of which
