Definition
An ancient Greek unit of dry measure used for grain and other food, roughly equivalent to about 1 liter in modern terms.
Etymology
From Ancient Greek 'khoinix' (χοῖνιξ), likely from a pre-Greek Mediterranean language. The term appears in Linear B tablets and Homeric texts, suggesting its use in Bronze Age Greece.
Kelly Says
Ancient athletes' diets were literally measured in choenixes—this was the standard daily grain ration for soldiers and workers in ancient Greece, making it one of history's most important nutritional standards.
