Headword: Dareikous
Adler number: delta,73
Translated headword: Darics
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Darics are gold staters; each of them had the value of what the Athenians call a "gold." They were named not after Darius the father of Xerxes[1] but after some other more ancient [Persian] king [of that name]. Some say that the daric is worth 20 silver drachmas, just as 5 darics are worth a mna of silver.
Greek Original:
Dareikous: eisi men chrusoi statêres hoi dareikoi: êdunato de hekastos autôn hoper kai ho para tois Attikois onomazomenos chrusos. ouk apo Dareiou tou Xerxou patros, all' aph' heterou tinos palaiterou basileôs ônomasthêsan. legousi de tines dunasthai ton dareikon dragmas arguriou k#, hôs tous e# dareikous dunasthai mnan arguriou.
Notes:
From Harpocration s.v. dareikos (commenting on Lysias 12.11, where this accusative plural occurs). And see already delta 72.
