| The capacity system was used to quantify any liquid (oil, beer) or some solids linked to food (grain, nuts, etc.). It is built on measuring vessels of standard capacity. Measuring units are written syllabically, except when specified. | The capacity system was used to quantify any liquid (oil, beer) or some solids linked to food (grain, hazelnuts, etc.).
