ἀργύριον, -ου, τό, (from ἄργυρος, which see), [from Herodotus down];
1. silver: Acts 3:6; Acts 7:16; Acts 20:33; 1 Peter 1:18; [1 Corinthians 3:12 T Tr WH].
2. money: simply, Matthew 25:18, 27; Mark 14:11; Luke 9:3; Luke 19:15, 23; Luke 22:5; Acts 8:20; plural, [Matthew 28:12], Matthew 28:15.
3. Specifically, a silver coin, silver-piece (Luther, Silberling), שֶׁקֶל σίκλος, shekel [see B. D. under the word], i. e. a coin in circulation among the Jews after the exile, from the time of Simon (circa B. C. 141) down (cf. 1 Macc. 15:6f [yet see B.
