Is there a source for this? A Georgian (talk) 12:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @A Georgian: Yes, there is a source for this, and I'm sorry that I did not insert the reference in my edit there. You can find the source for the kab (alternate spelling kav), which is an old liquid and dry measure equal to the volume of 24 eggs, meaning, 1⁄4 of a kav equals the volume of 6 eggs. See the Appendix (Appendix II - D.) in Danby's translation of the Mishnah. You can access it here, Section "D. Liquid and Dry Measure". There, it says explicitly that 1 log is the equivalent of 6 eggs, and that 4 logs is the equivalent of 1 kab. This would mean that one-fourth of a kab is equivalent to the volume of 6 eggs.Davidbena (talk) 18:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
