τᾰλαντ-ιαῖος G5006
weighing a talent; of talent-weight (approximately 75-100 pounds)
This rare adjective describes something weighing a talent, the largest unit of weight in the ancient world (roughly 75-100 pounds). Revelation 16:21 uses it to describe massive hailstones falling from heaven in divine judgment. The sheer weight—each stone about the weight of a person—emphasizes the catastrophic nature of the plague. Classical usage could describe valuable items, military projectiles, or persons of wealth. The consistent cross-linguistic rendering as 'talent-weight' preserves the original measurement reference.
