thing_n be_v agree_v among_o the_o ancient_a greek_a writer_n 1._o that_o medimnus_n atticus_n be_v equal_a to_o 48_o chaenices_fw-la so_o say_v pollux_n aarpocration_n galen_n etc._n etc._n 2._o that_o one_o chaenix_n be_v equal_a to_o three_o cotylae_n so_o pollux_n in_o two_o place_n in_o word_n at_o length_n not_o subject_a to_o so_o much_o corruption_n through_o mistake_n as_o character_n

consequent_o 12_o cotylae_n to_o the_o roman_a congius_fw-la so_o galen_n and_o the_o author_n of_o the_o hippiatric_n weight_n and_o measure_n dioscorides_n and_o other_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o treatise_n set_v at_o the_o begin_n of_o stephanus_n his_o appendix_n to_o his_o thesaurus_fw-la herewith_o agree_v what_o the_o same_o author_n and_o cleopatra_n affirm_v that_o 4_o chaenices_fw-la be_v equal_a to_o the_o congius_fw-la or_o to_o 12_o cotylae_n hence_o it_o follow_v medimnus_n atticus_n be_v equal_a to_o 48_o chaenices_fw-la must_v be_v equal_a to_o 12_o congii_fw-la romani_fw-la for_o 48_o divide_v by_o 4_o which_o be_v the_o number_n of_o chaenices_fw-la in_o a_o congius_fw-la quote_v 12._o for_o the_o second_o reduction_n whereby_o the_o roman_a congius_fw-la and_o the_o greek_a medimnus_n chaenix_n and_o cotyla_n may_v be_v bring_v into_o solid_a inch_n of_o english_a measure_n and_o so_o compare_v with_o our_o measure_n of_o capacity_n i_o offer_v this_o expedient_a it_o be_v agree_v and_o the_o inscription_n on_o the_o congius_fw-la of_o vespasian_n witness_v it_o that_o measure_v contain_v just_o 10_o roman_a pound_n of_o water_n or_o wine_n each_o roman_a

42_o grain_n of_o our_o troy_n ounce_n and_o just_o so_o many_o grain_n as_o dr._n chamberlain_n in_o the_o state_n of_o england_n affirm_v do_v our_o averdupoise_n ounce_n fall_v short_a of_o the_o troy_n ounce_n which_o be_v 480_o grain_n hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o our_o averdupoise_n ounce_n be_v the_o same_o weight_n with_o the_o old_a roman_a ounce_n which_o have_v continue_v to_o be_v

at_o first_o give_v to_o this_o ounce_n but_o to_o the_o pound_n consist_v of_o sixteen_o of_o eighteen_o such_o ounce_n which_o therefore_o be_v much_o more_o weighty_a than_o the_o usual_a roman_a

do_v not_o intend_v to_o assert_v a_o precise_a mathematical_a equality_n between_o epha_n and_o medimnus_n but_o to_o express_v the_o content_n of_o a_o jewish_a measure_n as_o a_o historian_n

will_v answer_v very_o well_o to_o a_o medimnus_n not_o heap_v this_o seem_v a_o sufficient_a conciliation_n that_o he_o respect_v a_o epha_n cumulate_v my_o number_n respect_v only_o a_o epha_n strickle_v as_o the_o countryman_n speak_v which_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o constant_a because_o the_o breadth_n or_o narrowness_n of_o the_o measure_n will_v alter_v the_o heap_v very_o much_o to_o this_o head_n i_o shall_v adjoin_v another_o approach_n to_o epha_n by_o help_n of_o the_o greek_a chaenix_n which_o be_v found_v on_o a_o probable_a emendation_n of_o hesychius_n which_o i_o
