However, the concept of small offerings can be related to the Hebrew word "agorah" (Strong's Hebrew 95), which also denotes a small coin.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "kodrantés" refers to a small Roman copper coin, equivalent to one-fourth of an "as," which was a basic unit of Roman currency. In the context of the New Testament, it is used to denote a very small amount of money, emphasizing the insignificance of the sum in monetary terms but often highlighting the significance of the giver's heart or intent.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The quadrans was the smallest denomination of Roman currency in circulation during the time of Jesus. It was commonly used for minor transactions and was considered of little value. The use of such a coin in the New Testament underscores the socio-economic conditions of the time, where even the smallest contribution could be significant in the eyes of God, reflecting the giver's devotion and sacrifice.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2835</b> <i>kodrántēs</i> – a Roman copper coin, worth <f9><a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a>/A</f9> of a denarius; "(Latin, = quadrans), 'a quadrans,' the smallest Roman copper coin, a quarter of an <i>as</i>, the sixteenth part of a <i>sestertius</i>" (Souter).
