Abstract

There is little information about the units of measurement in ancient Iran. From Avesta, the most IMportant text of ancient Iran, we can’t deduce so much information about this subject. Fortunately, one of the chapters of an old Avestan-Pahlavi lexicon i.e. FARHANG Ī ŌIM includes a list of measurement units. We can find the name of the UNITS OF LENGTH MEASUREMENT in chapter 27 of the lexicon. Some of these names are hapax legomenon and are only preserved in FARHANG Ī ŌIM. In this paper these units of length, are studied and compared according to the other parts of Avesta and the Pahlavi texts. These results can be summarized as follows: uz-ašti = 8 ǝrǝzu, dišti = 10 ǝrǝzu, paδa = 16 ǝrǝzu, vībāzu = 2 frabāzu = 4 frarāθni = 8 vitasti = 96 ǝrǝzu, vībāzu = 2 gāiia = 4 frarāθni, gāiia = 3 paδa = 4 vitasti = 48 ǝrǝzu, yujiiasti = 2 daxšmaiti = 4 āsnaiiasti = 8 tacar = 16 HĀθra. uz-ašti = 8 ǝrǝzu, dišti = 10 ǝrǝzu, paδa = 16 ǝrǝzu, vībāzu = 2 frabāzu = 4 frarāθni = 8 vitasti = 96 ǝrǝzu, vībāzu = 2 gāiia = 4 frarāθni, gāiia = 3 paδa = 4 vitasti = 48 ǝrǝzu, yujiiasti = 2 daxšmaiti = 4 āsnaiiasti = 8 tacar = 16 HĀθra.
