[870] In Ridgeway, The Origin of Metallic Currency, etc. (Cambridge, 1892), p. 240, is illustrated a fine Kite weight from which one Kite would equal about 140 grains, corresponding to 9·08 grammes.
[871] The information as to the average prices and weights of the Mugil capito, on which the above calculations were grounded, was obtained from the Department of Supplies in Egypt. “In the markets of Alexandria the weight of the grey mullet varies from 8 to 3 to the oke (2·75 lbs.), say 5½ to 14½ oz. each. The pre-war retail price was for large fish, 3 or 4 to the oke, 8 Piastres; for small, 8 to the oke, 5 Piastres.” The prices in August, 1920, had increased to 20 and 16 Piastres respectively, or nearly two-thirds more.
