Dirhem stood as she approached, and the man called Ceadmon regarded her as well, though not with respect.
Dirhem, it seemed, was on the verge of saying something else, but before he could, Caradoc opened the door.
Dirhem sighed: he had not wanted any of this to happen, but he could not let her go along her merry way, not when she knew all that she did.

He looked quite a fool, wearing such an overcoat when in truth it was warm enough, hours from noonday, and she naturally assumed that with all the goods he very likely had stored all over himself, a few coins wouldn’t go amiss.
A guard was watching from the gateway with suspicion, and as she predicted, he approached with a rather unhappy-looking gait.
She knew too much already, and she could see exactly why this man, Dirhem by name, wanted her to meet with him: he was going to either drag her into his conspiracy, or he was going to kill her.

 Weights, Measures and Money (and sundry associated matters)
The Islamic dirhem was derived from the ancient Greek drachmi.
For instance the dirhem was defined in medieval Egypt as the weight of 60 average sized barley seeds without the husk.
The kirat was 1/16 of a dirhem, also considered to be 4 barley grains and which is now the carat measure for precious gems, standardised at 200 milligrams which corresponds to the 3.2 grams of the dirhem.

Presently, he caught sight of an earthen pan turned over upon its mouth; so he raised it from the ground and found under it a horse's tail, freshly cut off, and the blood oozing from it; whereby he knew that the cook adulterated his meat with horses' flesh.

 Christian Sion: Franciscan Mount Sion
According to the original deeds in Arabic, in the Archives of the Custody in Jerusalem, on May 15, 1335 the Christian Frank Margaret bought from the Public Treasury an estate on Mount Sion for a thousand silver dirhem.
Roger bought one third of the estate from Margaret for 400 dirhem.
Roger, then living in the convent near the Cenacle was juridically recognised by the local authorities, and furthermore it is clear from the limits of the property that the Cenacle (Eliat Sahiun--the upper room of Sion: hyperoon Siôn) was no longer the property of the Treasury.

 Payne Nights
King Khusrau of Persia loved fish; and one day, as he sat in his saloon, he and Shirin his wife, there came a fisherman, with a great fish, and presented it to the King, who was pleased and ordered the man four thousand dirhems.
So the fisherman went to the treasurer and taking his eight thousand dirhems, put them in a bag he had with him.
Then, throwing the bag over his shoulder, he was going away, when he dropped a dirhem; so he laid the bag off his back and stooped down to pick it up.

 Bulk Islamic Silver Coins, Mameluke Period, Egypt
This nice hoard lot of silver dirhems dates to the rule of the early Mameluke sultanate of Egypt.
In 1252, the sultan of Egypt was deposed by his bodyguards, who belonged to a class of Turkish slaves who had been brought to Egypt to serve as soldiers for the Ayyubid caliph.
Despite this defeat, the Mamelukes remained an important and powerful social group in Egypt as they remained in place as the rulers of Egypt under the Ottomans through the early 1800's, when Napolean's invasion fatally weakened their dynasty.

Elmacin, who dates the first coinage A. 695, five or six years later than the Greek historians, has compared the weight of the best or common gold dinar to the drachm or dirhem of Egypt, (p.
From the same Elmacin and the Arabian physicians, some dinars as high as two dirhems, as low as half a dirhem, may be deduced.
