About these units
Mina (Biblical Greek) (mina (G))
The Greek mina weighed roughly 430 grams, depending on region. As with the Hebrew mina, it served as the intermediate mass unit within the Greek system.

A mina was traditionally divided into 100 drachmae, linking weight with monetary valuation.
Scruple (Apothecary) (s.ap)
The scruple is an old apothecary unit equal to 20 grains or 1.2959782 grams, originating in ancient Greek and Roman medicine. Apothecaries used scruples for compounding herbal remedies, powders, and tinctures long before standardized metric systems were adopted. Its size made it ideal for preparing early pharmaceuticals where doses needed to be accurate but not excessively granular. Over centuries, the scruple appeared in medical recipes, early scientific writings, and even medieval charms and remedies. Although obsolete today, replaced by milligrams and grams, the scruple is vital for historians studying early medical texts, pharmacy records, and classical-era scientific practices.
