Résumé: In Roman Egypt, prices of real estate and animals tend to have been settled in multiples
of four drachmas so that payment could be in tetradrachma-coins. If such prices were
not divisible by four, the readings of numerals or the conversion from bronze to silver
drachmas would turn out to be wrong in many cases. Only a small number of amounts
not divisible by four turn out to be inescapably correct.
