Sivadiers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sivadiere was a French measure of the volume of grain in Provence . The measure essentially depended on the batch (not on the batch as an oil measure ), which was different in the cities around Marseille (= 7832.3 Parisian cubic inches ) and in Arles (= 9320 Parisian cubic inches).

  • Marseille 1 batch = 4 émines = 32 sivadieres
  • 1 Sivadiere = 244.8 Parisian cubic inches = 4.82 liters
  • 8 sivadieres = 1 émine
