In the context of the New Testament, it is used to describe a specific quantity of grain.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Roman times, the "choinix" was a standard measure for dry goods, particularly grains. It was a daily ration for one person, often used in the context of food distribution and trade. The measure reflects the economic conditions and the value of staple foods in the ancient world, where grain was a primary source of sustenance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a choenix (a dry measure of less than a quart)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>quart (1), quarts (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 5518: χοῖνιξ</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">χοῖνιξ</span></span>, <span class="greek2">χοινικος</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Odyssey 19, 28 down, <span class="accented">a choenix,</span> a dry measure, containing four cotylae or two sextarii (i. e. less than our 'quart'; cf.
