FOOTNOTE:

[12] As the _Sextarius_ differs from the English pint by only 1-25th

part of the latter, it will be found useful, in ordinary rough

calculations, to take it at exactly a pint, and so with the other

measures in this table. The results thus obtained may be corrected by

subtracting from each of them its 1-25th part.
