Sentence:  In the Hebrew system the <WSD>log</WSD> (Lev. xiv. 10) corresponds to the mina. Since the Hellenistic writers equate the log with the Græco-Roman sextarius, whatever these writers say on the relation of the sextarius to other measures applies also to the relation of these measures to the <WSD>log</WSD>. The <WSD>log</WSD> and the sextarius, however, are not equal in capacity. The sextarius is estimated at .547 liter, while there is no reason to regard the <WSD>log</WSD> as larger than the Babylonian mina, especially as other references of the Greek metrologists support the assumption that the <WSD>log</WSD> was equal to the mina. The fact that in the Old Testament the <WSD>log</WSD> is mentioned only as a fluid measure may be merely accidental, for the dry measures, which are distinguished in all other cases from the liquid measures, also have the <WSD>log</WSD> as their unit. The corresponding dry measure may, however, have been known under a different name. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  A Hebrew unit of liquid volume (about ⅓(nbsp)L).
