| I Kings 4:22 | And the provision of Solomon, for each day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal; | Measures, (cori.) Each of which contained little less than 300 pints. (Calmet) --- A corus is equivalent to 30 modii, and would support as many men a day; so that the family of Solomon would contain 2,700 people. (Cornelius a Lapide) (Menochius) --- Villalpand calculates 48,600, and Calvisius 54,000. |
