Length

Several units were used to measure length. One pik was equal to 0.68 m as it was defined by metric equivalent.^[2][3] Some other units are given below (Note: these units too were defined by metric equivalents):

1 handaze = 1 pik

1 palmo = 1⁄3 pik

1 draa = 0.46 m.^[2][3] In Tripoli, draa was equal to 26.42 in and arbi draa (lesser pik) was equal to 19.029 in.^[4]

Mass

A number of units were used to measure mass. One rottolo was equal to 0.512 8 kg as it was defined by metric equivalent.^[2][3] Some other units are given below (Note: these units too were defined by metric equivalents):

1 oka = 2.5 rottolo = 1282 g

1 metical = 4.76 g

1 kharouba = 1⁄2560 oka

1 dram = 1⁄160 oka

1 termino = 1⁄128 oka

1 uckin = 1⁄16 oka

1 mattaro = 42 oka

1 cantar = 100 oka.^[2][3] In Tripoli, metical (73.6 grains) wnuas to measure gold and silver.^[4]

Area

Several units were used to measure area. One pik² was equal to 0.4624 m² as it was defined by it metric equivalent.^[2][3] Some other units were given below:

1 denum = 1600 pik²

1 jabia = 1800 pik².^[2][3]

Capacity

Two systems, dry and liquid were used to measure capacity.
