DO'DRANS. Nine-twelfths of anything; thence a copper coin, consisting of nine unciae, or three quarters of an as. (Varro, L. L. v. 172.) It is extremely rare in actual coinage; though an example is said to exist in a coin of the Cassian family, which bears the letter S, and three balls, to represent its value.
