more bronze than could be weighed

This is an exaggeration to show that there was a very large quantity of bronze. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "so much bronze that no one could weigh it" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole)
