Unit Definition (uncia [Rome])
The uncia is the Roman ounce, equal to about 27.2875 grams of 0.9625 ounce avoirdupois. There were 12 ounces in a Roman pound, and the word uncia means a 12th part; its name gives us the ounce, of course, and also the inch.

Unit Definition (rotl, rotel, rottle, ratel [Arab])
The rotl, rotel, rottle, ratel is a traditional Arab unit of weight corresponding to the Roman libra, the French livre, and the English pound. There was considerable variation in the unit from time to time and from place to place, but usually the rotl was about 0.9-1.15 pound (450-530 grams). However, in some areas of the Near East, such as Syria and Palestine, larger rotls of 5.5 to 6 pounds (2.5-2.8 kilograms) were used. This unit has many spellings in European languages.
