The mina (also mĕnē, Aramaic; Hebrew: מנה) is an ancient Near Eastern unit of weight, which was divided into 50 shekels. The mina, like the shekel, was also a unit of currency. In ancient Greece, it originally equalled 70 drachmae and later was increased to 100 drachmae. The Greek word mna (μνᾶ) was borrowed from Semitic; compare Hebrew māneh, Aramaic mĕnē, Syriac manyā, Ugaritic mn, and Akkadian manū. However, before it was used as currency, a mina was a unit of measurement, equal to 1.25 pounds (0.57 kg). From earliest Sumerian times, a mina was a unit of weight. At first, talents and shekels had not yet been introduced. By the time of Ur-Nammu, the mina had a value of 1/60 talents as well as 60 shekels. The value of the mina is calculated at 1.25 pounds (0.57 kg). Evidence from Ugarit indicates that a mina was equivalent to fifty shekels. The prophet Ezekiel refers to a mina ('maneh' in the King James Version) as sixty shekels, in the Book of Ezekiel 45:12. Jesus of Nazareth tells the "parable of the minas" in Luke 19:11-27. From the Akkadian period, 2 mina was equal to 1 sila of water (cf. clepsydra, water clock).

Une mine (grec ancien μνᾶ / mna) est une unité de masse en Grèce antique dont la valeur varie entre les régions. À Athènes, elle équivaut à 606 grammes. C'est aussi une unité de compte monétaire valant 100 drachmes, soit 432 grammes d'argent.
Wikipedia IT
Mina (in greco μνᾶ mna, latino mina) è un'antica moneta greca. Era inizialmente un'unità di misura orientale. Esistevano sia la mina babilonese che la mina ebraica. Una mina ebraica era costituita da 50 sicli. Il talento era costituito da 60 mine. Il peso era tra i 500 e gli 800 grammi. Con Ezechiele ("Il siclo sarà di venti ghere; venti sicli più venticinque sicli più quindici sicli formeranno la vostra mina") la mina diventa di 60 sicli, diventando così uguale a quella babilonese. Introdotta nel sistema greco aveva ad esempio ad Atene una massa di 436,6 grammi. Con una mina di argento venivano coniate 100 dracme. 60 mine costituivano un talento.
Wikipedia ES
La mina es una unidad de peso, y en consecuencia también de moneda, utilizada en la antigua Babilonia y en uso hasta tiempos clásicos, con diferentes definiciones según la época y el sitio. Su peso era de alrededor de medio kilogramo, según una de sus definiciones, y alrededor de un kilogramo, según otra. Unidades relacionadas continúan en uso hoy en día. Debe notarse que, como todas las unidades de peso de la antigüedad, la mina se empleó para pesar metales preciosos, en particular oro y plata, pero que las minas empleadas para ese uso no tenían el mismo valor que las utilizadas para pesar sustancias comunes.

Die Mine (lat. mina, altgriech. μνᾶ, hebräisch manäh, Akkadisch Manû bzw. Manāʾu sumerisch MA.NA) war eine antike Gewichtseinheit orientalischer Herkunft, die in Vorderasien und im Mittelmeerraum verbreitet war. In Griechenland und in Persien war sie neben dem Stater eine der gängigsten Gewichtseinheiten. In Vorderasien wurde sie unter dem Namen Mann bzw. Manā bis in die Neuzeit weiterverwendet.
