Saah
The Saah , also Saa, was a measure of volume in Algiers and was used as a measure of grain . Dates were only sold at this level in retail outlets. The measure could be divided into ½, ¼ or ⅓ and was accumulated. From 1832 the Saah was deleted and now had 58 liters .
- 1 Saah = 60 liters
- 1 Tultia = 8 Saah = 480 liters
The Turkish version of 120 liters was twice as large, because the Turkish government legally stipulated the Saah of Constantine , which was 60 liters more than the Algerian one. Under French administration, the Saah had 145 liters in Constantine for tax reasons.
The measure also determined the size of the Supschah field measure . With 23 Saah of grain, an area of 18 ⅔ arpents de Paris or a little more than 6 hectares could be cultivated . The old Arpent was available with 75 liters.
