N.B.—TheAeginetanmeasures of capacity may be easily calculated from these, according to the ratio given underQuadrantal.
[12]As theSextariusdiffers 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.
