Litra
A litra is a small silver coin used in the colonies of Ancient Greece in general and in ancient Sicily in particular. As a coin, the litra was similar in value to the obol and weighed one-third of a Roman libra, i.e.. In silver, the coin weighed and was equal to one-fifth of a drachma.
In the 3rd-century apocryphal New Testament text known as the Acts of Thomas, Jesus sells Thomas to an Indian merchant "for three litrae of silver unstamped".
In the Talmud, the litra is a unit of measurement, the equivalent of 60 shekels, weighing.
