Vocabulary of the Greek NT

κέρμα is frequently used of ";small money,"; ";change,"; as in John 2:15, e.g. PSI V. 512.13 (B.C. 253–2) ἐμοὶ δὲ οὔπω παράκιται κ ̣[ ]ρμα ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου, P Ryl II. 127.32 (A.D. 29) ζώνη ἐν ᾗ κέρματ (ος) (δραχμαί) δ ̄, ";a belt in which were 4 drachmae in copper"; (Edd.), P Oxy I. 114.14 (ii/iii A.D.) ἐὰν μὴ ἀρκεσθῇ τὸ κέρμα. . . πώλησον τὰ ψέλια εἰς συμρωπλήρωσιν (l. συμπλήρωσιν) τοῦ κὲρματος, ";if the cash is insufficient, sell the bracelets to make up the money"; (Edd.), ib. IX. 1220.7 (iii/A.D.) πέμψε μοι κέρμα, P Meyer 23.5 (not before end of iv/AD.) ποίησον τὸν ἀδελφόν μου ἑτοιμάσαι τὸ κέρμα αὐτοῦ ἕως ἔλθω. In P Gen I. 77.5 (ii/iii A.D.) a distinction is drawn between ";silver"; and ";copper"; money—ἀργυρίου δραχμαὶ διακόσιαι τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες, κέρματος δραχμαὶ πεντήκοντα δύο. For the dim. κερμάτιον see P Hib I. 45.8 (B.C. 257) εἴ τι κερμάτιον λελογεύκατε, φέρετε εὐθέως, ";if you have collected any money, bring it at once"; (Edd.), P Oxy III. 533.16 (ii/iii A.D.) εἴπατε καὶ τοῖς διδύμοις ὅτι προνοήσ [α ]τε τοῦ κερματίου, ";tell the twins also to be careful about the small change"; (Edd.).
