STRONGS G2773:
κερματιστής, κερματιστου ὁ (κερματίζω) (to cut into 'small pieces, to make small change)), a money-changer; money-broker: John 2:14. In the court of the Gentiles ((see ἱερόν, and Edersheim, Jesus the Messiah, i. 244f)) in the temple at Jerusalem were the seats of those who sold such animals for sacrifice as had been selected, examined, and approved, together with incense, oil, and other things needed in making offerings and in worship; and the magnitude of this traffic had introduced the banker's or broker's business; (cf. BB. DD. under the word ; especially Edersheim as above, p. 367ff). (Nicet. annal. 7, 2, p. 266, Bekker edition; Max. Tyr. diss. 2, p. 15, Markland edition.)
