TABLE OF MEASUREMENTS

1 _sagene_ = 7 ft.
1 _dessiatine_ (= 2400 _sq. sagenes_) = 432 sq. roods (2.70 acres)
1 _square sagene_ = 49 sq. ft.
1 _arshine_ = .77 yard (2.33 ft.)
1 _vershok_ = 1.75 in.

A _dessiatine_ (land measure) is a parallelogram having a length of
80 sagenes and a breadth of 30 sagenes, or it may be 40 by 60
sagenes, therefore the dessiatine is 2400 square sagenes, or
21,600 square arshines.

1 _verst_ = ⅔ of an English mile.
