About these units

Cubit (Greek) (cubit (greek))

The Greek cubit (approximately 0.462 meters) is an ancient unit based on the length of the forearm from elbow to fingertip. It was widely used in Greek architecture, engineering, and construction projects, including temples and civic buildings. Greek architects and surveyors applied the cubit to create proportional structures, ensuring harmony between different elements of a building. Its simplicity — derived from the human body — made it practical for field measurements in the absence of standardized tools. The cubit also held symbolic and ritual significance, often appearing in religious texts, design manuals, and classical literature. Modern historians and archaeologists study the Greek cubit to reconstruct ancient plans and understand the practical realities of classical building techniques.

Barleycorn (barleycorn)

The barleycorn is an English unit, approximately 1/3 inch (8.47 mm), originally based on the length of a grain of barley. It served as a small-scale measure in tailoring, shoe sizing, and other crafts. In particular, the English shoe size system was historically based on barleycorns, with increments in size corresponding to single barleycorn units. This unit exemplifies the anthropometric and agronomic origins of measurement. Even today, the barleycorn's influence persists in the traditional shoe sizing system in the UK and the US, providing continuity with historical practices.
