The Jereih of Shiraz contains ten jjJls kefiz; and a
kefiz, sixteen rotels, a little more or less. The jereib is one
hundred and thirty rotels; and that is divided into half, third,
and quarter. The jereib of Istakhar is half the jereib of Shiraz.
The measure or weight of Beiza is more than that of
Istakhar by about a tenth and half a tenth; and the measure of
Kam Firouz is greater than that of Beiza, by about one tenth.
The measure of Arghan exceeds that of Shiraz by a fourth: and
the measure of Kazeroun and of Shapour is a sixteenth more.
