[A numismatic friend, to whom we referred this Query, writes, "If

it were not for the context, 'nam didrachma septim facit solidos,'

I should suppose the 14 to be a misprint for 4. Where _could_ this

passage be taken from? The shekel was worth a tetradrachm. The

French 'sol' was the twentieth part of a pound. The 'denier

Tournois' was a penny. The whole passage, after the first line

(which is plain enough), is to me unintelligible."]

_Sept._--What is the etymology, and what the correct use, of this

Anglo-Irish word?
