Variations & cautions

Rounded metric value from a secondary reference; rounding can slightly affect ratios. Identify the commodity and period.

A wine kartoċċ is about 1.137 L, whereas an oil or milk kartoċċ is about 1.279 L. Litres cannot be converted to kilograms without the product’s density.

A calculation can be mathematically precise while its historical equivalence remains approximate. Each variant here carries its context and sources. Displaying more decimal places does not make a rounded value more certain.
