About these units
Quintal (Metric) (cwt (m))
The metric quintal, equal to 100 kilograms, is commonly used in agriculture for measuring harvest yields, livestock feed, and bulk commodities such as grains, sugar, and potatoes. Its simplicity makes it popular in countries with strong agricultural sectors. Farmers, traders, and cooperatives find the quintal more intuitive for medium-sized loads than kilograms or metric tons. Though not an SI unit, it remains deeply embedded in agricultural commerce throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Talent (Biblical Greek) (talent (G))
The Greek talent was far heavier than the Hebrew one, typically around 26 kilograms, depending on the city-state. It was the principal unit of mass for large sums in trade, tribute, and taxation. In classical Athens, a talent represented extraordinary wealth, often used to quantify state revenues or military expenses. It also appears in the New Testament, where it symbolizes substantial value. The Greek talent was divided into 60 minae, each of which subdivided further into drachmae.
