for a day's pay

The Greek that is translated as “for a day’s pay” or similar in English is translated in Elhomwe as “(a bit of food will be bought with) much money.” “‘Senarii’ or ‘a day’s wage’ does not reflect the idea of a large sum of money for a small amount of food; so made explicit.” (Source: project-specific translation notes in Paratext)
