or MANEH, a species of money which properly signifies one part or ounce. It is observed that this word occurs only in the books of Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, and Ezekiel. The prophet (xlv. 12) tells us, that the mina or maneh was valued at sixty shekels, which in gold are equivalent to £54. 15s. of English money, and in silver to about L7. Thus for the Hebrew maneh. But the Greek or Attic mina, which is probably that mentioned in the books of the Maccabees and in the New Testament, is valued at a hundred drachmas, or about L2. 17s. sterling. There was also a lesser mina, which was valued at seventy-five drachmas.
