And I saw, and lo! a black horse; and he that sat upon it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard a voice from amidst the four living beings saying, A choenix of wheat for a denarius , and three choenixs of barley for a denarius; yet to the oil and the wine do no injury. And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living being saying, Come and see.
Then I with a smile said: But, sir, that fish there, that according to the proverb is laid up, why do not we bring out into play together with Pythagoras's choenix, which he forbids any man to sit upon, thereby teaching us that we ought to leave something of what we have before us for another time, and on the present day be mindful of the morrow?
The penny, or denarius, is equal to about fifteen cents of our money, and was the ordinary wages of a day laborer. In the parable of our Lord recorded in Mat. 20, the householder is represented as hiring laborers for a penny a day to labor in his vineyard. The measure, or choenix, of wheat was the usual daily allowance of food for a man.
Whoever shall touch my choenix, for what is contained in the choenix is intended. The son of Peleus again attacked the son of Atreus with petulant words. By this he indicates Achilles and Agamemnon respectively. Be of good cheer, Tritonia, dear daughter, Shorn Phoebus. In the one case he means Athene and in the other Apollo. Seeing these Achilles did not rejoice.
