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.

Unit Definition (myriagram)
The myriagram is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 000 grams or 10 kilograms (about 22.046 pounds). Although it is considered obsolete now, the myriagram was a useful unit comparable to the English quarter or Spanish arroba.
