294 NUMISMATIC CHRONICLE. The Athenians also had a coin called a " maiden " (Kopij), as Hyperides shows, saying that there were offered to the child of the priestess at Brauron, when receiving some offering, a " maiden " and a tetradrachm, 45 to test its intelligence, (75) and that, by choosing the tetradrachm, it seemed already to have some discrimination as to profit. It may be a Kopr? which Euripides mentions as the " " virgin coin (TrapOtvos) in the Sciron, speaking of the " hetaerae in Corinth Some you will win if you give one horse (TTUJXOS), some by a pair ; some come for four silver horses ; but what they really like is virgins from Athens, when you bring many ; " by the virgins he seems to mean the maidens, on which was stamped a head of Athene; (76) whence Eubulus calls this coin in the Anchises a Pallas. By horse is meant the Corinthian coin, because it had Pegasus struck upon it. The Aeginetan drachm being larger than the Attic (for it was worth ten Attic obols), 46 was called by the Athe- nians a thick drachm, they being unwilling, from their hatred of the Aeginetans, to call it Aeginetan. It can easily be seen from the Deposit of Menander that gold was ten times the value of silver. 47 Having first 45 Hence it would seem that the term maiden, which might well be applied to any of the coins of Athens, seeing that they all bear as type the head of Athene Parthenos, was in practice applied not to the usual currency, the tetradrachm, but to a smaller coin, no doubt the drachm. 46 This statement is not quite correct ; the Aeginetan drachm was worth rather less than 9 Attic obols, which weighed 101 grs. Here, as elsewhere, Pollux may be quoting some local rate of exchange. 47 Not having the context of Menander we cannot say whether or not his words imply this. But Brandis (Miinzicesen, p. 86) has shown it to be probable that a relation of 10 to 1 between the value of gold and that of silver existed in the time of Alexander the Great, and was, in fact, the basis of his coinage.
POLLUX* ACCOUNT OF ANCIENT COINS. 295 said "I am ever keeping the weight of a gold talent for you, boy," (77) he afterwards brings in the same thing " Happy is he ; for he has eaten ten talents." As to the name of the obol, some say that spits (6/3eXoi), fit for spitting beef48 were once used for exchange, 49 and that the quantity of these which would fill the grasp (fy>a) used to be called a drachm ; the names, however, even after the custom had changed to our present usage, survived from remembrance of ancient custom. Aristotle, making the same statement in the Sicyonian Commonwealth, takes a slightly new course, saying they were once called ofaXoi, 6e\\fiv meaning "to increase," and they being so called because they were stretched out in length. (78.) Whence, too, he says 6
