Qasba · 2.088 m

Historical use

Historical variant discussed by Bianco when interpreting a 1737 plan. The 2.088 m factor is attributed to Doursther (1840); it should not automatically replace the later variant.

The qasba, xiber and pulzier form a system of length. A linear qasba and a square qasba measure different dimensions.

Variations & cautions

Historical plan interpretation

Construction and old plans require attention to the standard. Bianco discusses a 2.088 m factor; later tables are represented here by a qasba of about 2.096 m.

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.

Worked conversions

• 1 × Qasba · 2.088 m≈ 2.088 m
• 2 × Qasba · 2.088 m≈ 4.176 m
• 10 × Qasba · 2.088 m≈ 20.88 m

Example: amount × factor = metric equivalent. Calculations use the full stored factor and round only for display.
