Historical use

A quarter of a Maltese uqija: here about 6.615 g. The tables divide an Ounce into four quarti. It is much smaller than a quarter of a ratal, so the parent unit must be known.

The ratal is a historical weight divided into 30 uqija. A qantar contains 100 ratal. These are not the English pound and ounce.

Variations & cautions

Historical uqija system; derived from the rounded ratal basis

Official tables also use Rotolo, Ounce, Pesa and Cantar. The converter uses a rounded ratal of 0.7938 kg; extra displayed digits do not add historical certainty.

A calculation can be mathematically precise while its historical equivalence remains approximate. Each variant here carries its context and sources. Displaying more decimal places does not make a rounded value more certain.
