Unit Definition (crith)
The crith is a unit of mass sometimes used in the physics and chemistry of gases. The crith is equal to the mass of a liter of hydrogen at standard temperature (0.01°C) and pressure (1 atmosphere); this is about 89.885 milligrams. The name comes from an ancient Greek word for a barleycorn.

Unit Definition (shekel [Hebrew])
The shekel is an ancient Hebrew unit of weight (and also a coin having that weight). The shekel was the Hebrew version of a Babylonian unit used throughout the Middle East. Accounts differ on its size. A frequently quoted equivalent is 252 grains, which is equal to 0.5760 ounce (avoirdupois) or about 16.33 grams, but other sources quote a value of 8.4 grams or various values between these two extremes.
