What does the Greek cubit measure?

The Greek cubit is an ancient length unit based on the forearm length from elbow to fingertip, commonly around 0.45 to 0.47 metres, used in historical metrology.

Why should I be careful using this converter?

Because the Greek cubit's length varied by place and time, and the UK nautical mile differs from the international nautical mile, conversions are approximate and should consider historical context.
