Abstract :
The ratio between the mega kankellon measure in P.Oxy. 16.1906 and the regular, smaller kankellon measure was 1.14:1 or, in terms of choinikes, 45.6:40. The ratio between the metron measure and the standard kankellon measure was 1.15:1 or, in terms of choinikes, 46:40. The metron measure was 15% larger than the standard kankellon; the mega kankellon of P.Oxy. 16.1906 was 14% larger.
