Read in parallel →

A poor widow came and she cast in two small brass coins, which equal a quadrans coin.^ᵃ^ᵇ

^ᵃnote:literally, lepta (or widow’s mites). Lepta are very small brass coins worth half a quadrans each, which is a quarter of the copper assarion. Lepta are worth less than 1% of an agricultural worker’s daily wages.
^ᵇnote:A quadrans is a coin worth about 1/64 of a denarius. A denarius is about one day’s wages for an agricultural labourer.
