    Glosses: ['gift', 'present']
    Comments: Since δῶρον in {S:04000502400042} refers specifically to the sacrifice, it may be useful to translate this phrase as ‘leave there your sacrifice before the altar.’

    DefinitionShort: a place for making gifts or offerings (see {L:γαζοφυλάκιον}[b] - {D:6.141}).
    Glosses: offering box
    Comments: According to tradition there were thirteen such offering boxes in the Temple and the receptacles leading down to the boxes were made in the form of trumpets. As a result, the sound of coins falling into the boxes was rather conspicuous.|In {S:04202100400022} it is possible to interpret εἰς τὰ δῶρα not as ‘into the offering boxes’ but as ‘for their gifts,’ thus reflecting a more common meaning of {L:δῶρον}[a] gift ({D:57.84}).
