Qafiz (Arabic: قفيز) is a traditional Arabian unit of measure for several quantities including volume, weight and area which took several different values depending on the time and region. The oldest accurate information about it is that of the qafiz of Hajjaj which equaled one Sa' of the Prophet's (4.2125 liter). It is still used in at least one country— Libya— to measure quantities of olive oil. In Libya it measures about 7 liters (almost 2 gallons). A measurement derived from it is cafisu (aka. cafiso or caffiso) and is still in use in Malta, Calabria and Sicily and is also used to measure olive oil. It generally measures 16-17 litres. Formerly a same name unit of measurement (aka cafesse) was used to measure the grain. Traditionally, qafiz, also denoted a unit for measuring land, equal

  • Der Qafīz (arabisch قفيز, DMG qafīz), auch Caffiso, Cafisso oder Cafiso, war ein arabisches Volumenmaß für schüttbare Waren, das auch auf der Insel Malta, in Messina (Sizilien) und Marseille benutzt wurde. Es fasste ungefähr 25 bis 50 Liter. In den frühen islamischen Jahrhunderten galt 1 Qafīz = 8 Makkūk = 12 Sāʿ = 48 Mudd. Verschiedene Autoren ordnen je Schreibweise ein eigenständiges Maß zu.

  • Qafiz (arabo:قفيز) o Cafiz è una misura tradizionale araba di volume. È ancora usata in almeno una nazione - la Libia - per misurare la quantità di olio di oliva. In Libia misura all'incirca 7 litri. Una misura da essa derivata (il cafisu, cafiso o caffiso) è ancora in uso a Malta, Calabria e Sicilia e viene anch'essa usata per l'olio di oliva. In particolare, nella zona etnea della Sicilia orientale, il cafiso di olio equivale a 16 kg ovvero 17 litri, giacché in questo territorio tradizionalmente l'olio viene misurato in unità di peso piuttosto che in unità di volume. Invece nel trapanese equivale a 8 kg, circa 8,5 litri. Anticamente un'unità di misura omonima (detta anche cafesse) veniva usata per misurare il grano. (it)
