Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from τρεῖς (treis, meaning "three") and ἑκατόν (hekaton, meaning "hundred").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek term τριακόσιοι corresponds to the Hebrew term שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת (shelosh me'ot), which also means "three hundred." This Hebrew term is used in various Old Testament passages to denote the same numerical value, such as in the account of Gideon's army in Judges 7:7, where three hundred men are chosen to deliver Israel from the Midianites.

Usage: The term τριακόσιοι is used in the New Testament to denote the numerical value of three hundred. It appears in contexts where specific quantities are being described.

Context: The Greek term τριακόσιοι, translated as "three hundred," is a cardinal number used in the New Testament to specify a precise quantity. This term appears in the context of financial transactions and valuations. One notable instance is found in the Gospel of John, where the value of the ointment used by Mary to anoint Jesus is estimated. In John 12:5, Judas Iscariot questions, "Why wasn’t this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?" (BSB). This passage highlights the significant value of the ointment, as three hundred denarii would have been approximately a year's wages for a laborer at the time, underscoring the sacrificial nature of Mary's act of devotion.

The use of τριακόσιοι in the New Testament reflects the broader cultural and economic context of the time, where such numerical values were used to convey the worth of goods and services. The mention of specific numbers like three hundred serves to provide readers with a tangible understanding of the events and transactions described in the biblical narrative.
