λεπτός a small copper coin worth a penny; noun. a very small copper or brass coin, called a “lepton” equal to half a quadrans, an eighth of an assarion, or 1/128 of a day’s wage; most likely the smallest denomination of coins available. A lepton was the smallest bronze Jewish coin in circulation in Palestine. Two lepta were worth 1/64 of a Roman denarius, a day’s wage for a laborer (cf. 6:37). For his Roman readers Mark stated their value in terms of Roman coinage, namely, a fraction of a penny.
