You may convert this to a modern measure. A talent was about 33 kilograms. Alternate translation: "thirty-three hundred kilograms of silver and thirty-three kilograms of gold" or "about 3,300 kilograms of silver and 33 kilograms of gold" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-bmoney]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers]])
