 * two hundred shekels.
   If the shekel be allowed to mean the common shekel, the amount
   will be utterly incredible; for Josephus says that "two
   hundred shekels make five {min(913a)}" and the {mina,} he says,
   "weighs two pounds and a half;" which calculation makes
   Absalom's hair weigh twelve pounds and a half!  But it is
   probable that the king's shekel was that which Epiphanius and
   Hesychius say was the fourth part of an ounce, half a
   {stater,} or two drachms:  the whole amount, therefore, of the
   200; shekels is about 50; ounces, which make 4; lb. 2; oz. troy
   weight, or 3; lb. 2; oz. avoirdupois.  This need not be
   accounted incredible, especially as abundance of oil and
   ointment was used by the ancients in dressing their heads.
   Josephus informs us, that the Jews also put gold dust in their
   hair.
