Subjects in this Topic:
(in some editions "car") is an Anglicized form of the term ÷Üῤῥá (v. r. êÜῤῥá ), occurring only in 1Es_5:55, as the name of something given to the Phoenicians for furnishing cedar to rebuild the Temple. Bretschneider (Spicileg. p. 270) thinks we should read ÷Üñáãìá , i.e. money; perhaps, however, the word is simply a corruption for êÝñìá , coin (see Fritzsche, Handb. in loc.).
