For this Semitic word, used as a Greek money unit for 100 drachmae (about £ 4), cf. P Lond 277.10 (a loan—A.D. 23) (= II. p. 217) το ̣κου ὡς ἐκ δραχμῆ μιᾶς τῇ μνᾷ τὸν μῆνα ἕκαστον, ";at the interest of a drachma per mina per month";—the usual rate of interest : so ib. 336.18 (A.D. 167) (= II. p. 221), and P Oxy XIV. 1673.22 (ii/A.D.) τὸ δὲ πέρας ᾔτησα τὴν μνᾶν, ὡς ἔδοξέν σοι, ";eventually I asked for the mina. as you thought right."; The word is used with reference to weight in ib. 1739.1 (ii/iii A.D.) σαππίριν (l. σαπφείριον, ";sapphire";) μνᾶν ὅλκην al. For the form μναεῖον cf. ib. I. 9 verso.15 (iii/iv A.D.) with the editor’s note, where it is pointed out that the Attic mina is divided into 16 τέταρται (unciae) and the Egyptian mina into 18, for μναιαῖον cf. ib. III. 496.3 (A.D. 127), and for μναγαῖον cf. ib. VI. 905.6 (A.D. 170) (see Mayser Gr. p. 167 f. for the inserted γ).
