Headword:
Χαλκιδῖτις
Adler number: chi,44
Translated headword: copper-girl, penny-prostitute
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A whore in
Josephus.[1] [sc. So called] from the cheapness of the coin given.[2]
Χαλκιδῖτις: παρὰ Ἰωσήπῳ ἡ πόρνη. ἀπὸ τῆς εὐτελείας τοῦ διδομένου νομίσματος.
Notes:
[1] Nowhere extant in
Josephus, but rather in an Athenian comic fragment (adespota fr.1381 Kock); so as Bernhardy suspected, the name here is probably corrupt. (His suggestion was
Hegesippus, for whom see under
eta 57.) For the
chalkous see
chi 55.
[2] Same explanation in
Eustathius and elsewhere.
