Note 12 — TABLES OF GREEK AND ROMAN MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND MONEY.

Reading edition

As the Sextarius differs from the English pint by only 1-25th part of the latter, it will be found useful, in ordinary rough calculations, to take it at exactly a pint, and so with the other measures in this table. The results thus obtained may be corrected by subtracting from each of them its 1-25th part.
