Les Proverbes 6:22 Références du Talmud : Jerusalem Talmud Peah

Artaban¹⁴⁶Artaban IV, the last ruler of the Parthian empire. sent a priceless¹⁴⁷Greek ἀτίμητος, adj., “priceless”; τιμή “worth, price.” precious pearl to our holy teacher¹⁴⁸Rav, who has this title in several passages of the Yerushalmi. and said to him: Send me a thing of equal value. He sent him a mezuzah. He said to him: I sent you a priceless thing and you send me something worth a follis¹⁴⁹Latin follis, Greek φόλλις, -εως, ὁ, in the late Roman empire a small copper coin (1/288 of a solidus or 1/1728 of an ounce of gold), under the (much later) Byzantine emperor Anastasius equal to 40 units of the smallest coin called nummus. Originally, follis means “bellows”, then “bag, small coin”, later “money bag” representing a standard value. Follis as a coin appears only after Diocletian’s currency reform. The use of the term reflects the time of the edition of the Yerushalmi, not the time of the actors in the story. (For a similar adaptation in a Babylonian source, cf. Note 102.)! He said to him, your possessions and mine together are not equal to it! Not only that, but you sent me something that I have to watch over and I sent you something that watches over you while you are sleeping, as it is written (Prov. 6:22): “I will make you rest when you are rambling.”
