Scruple (Apothecary)
A scruple (s.ap) is an old unit of weight used in apothecary measurements, equivalent to 1.3 grains or approximately 1.3 grams.
History/Origin
The scruple originated in ancient Greece and was adopted into Roman and medieval European apothecary systems. It was historically used for measuring small quantities of medicinal substances and drugs.
Current Use
Today, the scruple is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units, but it is still referenced in historical contexts and traditional apothecary practices.
Lepton (Biblical Roman)
A lepton is a small, lightweight unit of weight used in the Biblical Roman system, historically representing a very small amount of mass.
History/Origin
The lepton originated in ancient Roman and biblical contexts as a minimal unit of weight, often used in religious and commercial transactions to denote small quantities. Its usage has declined with the advent of modern measurement systems.
Current Use
Today, the lepton is primarily of historical and academic interest, with limited practical application in contemporary measurement systems or conversions.
