Units explained
Carat (metric)
The metric carat (ct) equals exactly 200 milligrams (0.0002 kg).
From Arabic 'qirat' and Greek 'keration', the carob seed once used as a counterweight.
The worldwide standard for gemstone and diamond mass.
The metric carat was fixed at 200 mg internationally in 1907.
Mina (Biblical Greek)
The Greek mina was about 0.34 kg, one-sixtieth of a talent (100 drachmae).
Adopted from Near-Eastern metrology into the Greek system.
Hellenistic and New Testament commerce.
A standard sub-unit of the Greek talent.
