prevailing. Prevalently

1. Among the ancient Greeks, a weight and a denomination of
money equal to 60 min[ae] or 6,000 drachm[ae]. The Attic
talent, as a weight, was about 57 lbs. avoirdupois; as a
denomination of silver money, its value was [pounds]243
15s. sterling, or about $1,180.
Rowing vessel whose burden does not exceed five
hundred talents. --Jowett
(Thucid.).
2. Among the Hebrews, a weight and denomination of money. For
silver it was equivalent to 3,000 shekels, and in weight
was equal to about 93? lbs. avoirdupois; as a denomination
of silver, it has been variously estimated at from
[pounds]340 to [pounds]396 sterling, or about $1,645 to
$1,916. For gold it was equal to 10,000 gold shekels.

4. Intellectual ability, natural or acquired; mental

Talented Tal"ent*ed, a.
Furnished with talents; possessing skill or talent; mentally
gifted. --Abp. Abbot (1663).
Note: This word has been strongly objected to by Coleridge
and some other critics, but, as it would seem, upon not
very good grounds, as the use of talent or talents to
signify mental ability, although at first merely
metaphorical, is now fully established, and talented,
as a formative, is just as analogical and legitimate as
gifted, bigoted, moneyed, landed, lilied, honeyed, and
numerous other adjectives having a participal form, but
derived directly from nouns and not from verbs.
Tetravalent
Tetravalent Te*trav"a*lent, a. [Tetra- + L. valens, -entis, p.

Transcalent
