stā´tẽr (στατηÌÏ, stateÌ„Ìr): Used only once, , where it is rendered by “piece of money†in the King James Version and “shekel†in the Revised Version (British and American). It was originally a standard Greek weight equal to two drachmas, but later it was used to designate the tetradrachma, and this is probably the coin referred to in the above passage. See MONEY.
