# Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
This is a rhetorical question. You can translate it as a strong statement. Alternate translation: "This perfume could have been sold for three hundred denarii and the money could have been given to the poor!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# three hundred denarii
You can translate this as a numeral. Alternate translation: "300 denarii" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers]])
