The Greek word for the quadrans was κοδράντης ''(kodrantes),'' which was translated in the [[King James Version]] of the [[Bible]] as "[[Farthing (British coin)|farthing]]".
 
The quadrans during Augustus Caesar's reign was about 3.403 grams copper, 0.007 pounds, 0.0975 troy ounces, 0.107 ounces, or 1816 carob beans weight. He made this reform in 23 BC. This weight seems to be on average, about 0.1 troy ounces.
