Unit Definition (bovate) The Bovate is an old English unit of land area equal to 1/8 hide. This was roughly 15 acres or 6 hectares. The word comes from the Latin bovis, an ox, indicating that the bovate was an area that could be farmed with the help of one ox. Unit Definition (dessiatina) The Dessiatina is a traditional unit of land area in Russia equal to 2400 square sadzhens. By coincidence, this makes the dessiatina very nearly the same as a hectare: it equals about 1.0925 hectare or 2.6996 acres.
