From the CAD. I looked up the full citation ("1/3 shekel of silver for beer for the girls that are with me"). I was going to make a pithy comment about how people in the Old Babylonian period (c. 3600-3800 years ago) were totally relatable, but then I realised that 1/3 of a shekel of silver weighs a little less than a 5p coin, so now I'm just going to have a moan about the £7 pints at my local.
