Thureau-Dangin Journ. Asiat. X. série t. XIII 1909, 91), perhaps to be measured at approximately 0.453 l (Egyptian Hin, see above). A vessel dating from the time of Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon (605–562), which was supplemented and then measured in the Louvre Museum, leads (according to Thureau-Dangin Rev. d’Assyr.
