About these units
Minim (US) (minim)
The US minim is defined as 1/60 of a US fluid dram, approximately 0.0616 mL. Similar to the UK minim, it originated in apothecary practice as a standardized alternative to the inconsistent "drop." Minims were used heavily in 18th–19th century American medicine for dosing tinctures, opiates, essential oils, and concentrated extracts. Although it has disappeared from modern pharmaceutical practice, the minim remains relevant for studying early American medical traditions and the evolution of clinical measurement.
Bath (Biblical) (bath)
A bath is a medium-scale Hebrew unit, estimated at about 22–23 liters. It was used for liquids such as wine and oil and appears in numerous Biblical passages relating to temple rituals and royal allocations. As 1/10 of a homer, the bath provided a manageable quantity for domestic and ritual purposes. References to baths of oil and wine in ancient texts reveal the significance of controlled measurement in both trade and religious offerings. Its size roughly corresponds to the volume of a modern bucket, emphasizing its practicality in daily life.
