Apparatus

37,.9.-.38.4: : at some point after 35.3 grammar of payment has switched from ablative to accusative. Should we assume consistency within a chapter and put all denarii in accusative from beginning of 37? Grammar has definitely switched back to ablative by 40.11; should we assume from beginning of Ch. 40 or Ch. 39?
