This is how the Classical Greeks named a measure of capacity for aggregates. It was used in many cities such as Athens, Corinth and Megara. It was equivalent to just over 51 liters, just over 30 kilos of wheat and slightly less barley. The Greek historian Polybius of Megalopolis, based in Rome, informs us that a legionary consumed just over two-thirds of a medimnio of wheat a month.
