of a denarion-coin
| Root | δηνάριον (dēnarion) |
| Core Meanings | denarius, Roman silver coin, day’s wage coin, monetary unit |
| Semantic Range | a Roman silver denarius; a standard daily wage for a laborer; a unit of monetary calculation; by extension, a measure of value or cost |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Gospels, the denarion often represents a typical day’s wage and functions in teachings about labor, fairness, taxation, and allegiance (e.g., tribute to Caesar). It situates Jesus’ ministry within the economic realities of Roman-occupied Judea and serves as a tangible symbol of worldly authority and daily provision. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive, neuter, singular (Gr,N,,,,,GNS,). The genitive singular form δηναρίου denotes “of a denarion,” indicating possession, price, source, or measure. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the loanword’s historical identity as a specific Roman coin (δηνάριον) while expressing the genitive case with “of,” reflecting possession, value, or relation. The singular neuter form is maintained by “a denarion-coin,” indicating one specific unit. |
