**The whole BDB entry:** n.m. maneh, mina, a weight (perhaps orig. a specific part; NH id.; Assyrian manû DlHWB 417; Aramaic ܡܰܢܝܳܐ, מַנְיָא);—מ׳ Ez 45:12; מָנִים 1 K 10:17 + 3 times;=50 shekels Ez 45:12 (on חֲמִשִּׁים for חֲמִשָּׁה v. Hi Co); of gold 1 K 10:17; of silver Ezr 2:69 Ne 7:71, 72.—The weight of the mina was 1/60 of talent; i.e. according to older (Bab.) standard, 982.2 grammes (=60 shekels at c. 16.37 g.)=c. 2 lbs.; in Ezekiel’s time the mina=50 shekels=818.6 g.=c. 1 2/3 lb. (cf. כִּכָּר, שֶׁקֶל). Vid. BenzArch. 187 ff. 194 NowArch. i. 208 f.
