This mode of punishment appears to have obtained in Syria as well as in Greece, especially in cases of parricide. That it was customary in Greece we learn from Suidas, in [hyperbolon lithon,] and the scholiast on the Equites of Aristophanes: [Hotan <\\See definition 3752\\> gar <\\See definition 1063\\> katara <\\See definition 2671\\> tinos <\\See definition 5099\\> baros <\\See definition 922\\> apo <\\See definition 575\\> ton trachelos <\\See definition 5137\\> kremannumi <\\See definition 2910\\>.] "When a person was drowned, they hung a weight about his neck."

ten thousand <3463> [ten thousand.]
[Murias <\\See definition 3461\\> talanton <\\See definition 5007\\>,] a myriad of talents, the highest number known in Greek arithmetical notation. According to Prideaux, the Roman talent was equal to 216Å“; ten thousand of which would amount to 2,160,000Å“. If the Jewish talent of silver be designed, which is estimated by the same learned writer at 450Å“., this sum amounts to 4,500,000Å“.; but if the gold talent is meant, which is equal to 7200Å“., then the amount is 72,000,000Å“. This immense sum represents our boundless obligations to God, and our utter incapacity, as sinners infinitely indebted to Divine justice, of paying one mite out of the talent.

"A talent is 750 ounces of silver, which after five shillings the ounce is 187Å“. 10s."

Rather, "a hundred denarii," as our penny does not convey one seventh of the meaning. This would amount to about 3Å“. 2s. 6d. English; which was not one six hundred thousandth part of the 10,000 talents, even calculating them as Roman talents.

This was our Lord's final departure from Galilee, previous to his crucifixion; but he appears to have taken in a large compass in his journey, and passed through the districts east of Jordan. Some learned men, however, are of opinion, that instead of "beyond Jordan," we should render, "by the side of Jordan," as [peran <\\See definition 4008\\>,] especially with a genitive, sometimes signifies.

Among the ancients, they put a yoke upon the necks of a new married couple, or chains on their arms, to shew that they were to be one, closely united, and pulling equally together in all the concerns of life.

So in the Koran, "The impious, who in his arrogance shall accuse our doctrine of falsity, shall find the gates of heaven shut; nor shall he enter till a camel shall pass through the eye of a needle." It was a common mode of expression among the Jews to declare any thing that was rare or difficult.
