Dram
   The Authorized Version understood the word 'adarkonim (1 Chr.
   29:7; Ezra 8:27), and the similar word darkomnim (Ezra 2:69;
   Neh. 7:70), as equivalent to the Greek silver coin the drachma.
   But the Revised Version rightly regards it as the Greek
   dareikos, a Persian gold coin (the daric) of the value of about
   1 pound, 2s., which was first struck by Darius, the son of
   Hystaspes, and was current in Western Asia long after the fall
   of the Persian empire. (See DARIC.)
