George Leo Haydock, on Judg 8:26

“And the weight of the earlets that he requested, was a thousand seven hundred sicles of gold, besides the ornaments, and jewels, and purple raiment which the kings of Madian were went to use, and besides the golden chains that were about the camels’ necks.”

“And jewels. Some translate, “crescents (Septuagint, “little moons,”) and boxes” ( netiphoth, Menochius) of perfumes, such as Alexander found among the spoils of Darius, and reserved to put his Homer in. These ornaments were also used by women, Isaias iii. 18. (Calmet) — The eastern nations delight in perfumes. (Menochius) — The ear-rings alone would amount to 3102 l. 10 s. sterling. (Haydock)”
