What is a gamma unit?

Gamma is a historical unit of mass representing one microgram, used for extremely small mass measurements.

What was the mina used for in biblical times?

The mina was an ancient mass unit used for weighing precious metals and recording large monetary amounts in Near Eastern and Greek sources.

Why does the conversion result in very small values?

Because gamma measures very small masses while mina represents a large ancient mass, leading to tiny numerical conversion results.

How to Convert from Gamma to Mina (Biblical Greek)?

Easily convert weights from gamma, a tiny modern mass unit, to mina (Biblical Greek), an ancient unit used for precious metals and monetary values, supporting historical and archaeological research.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms gamma units, representing extremely small masses, into mina (Biblical Greek), an ancient mass unit used historically for weighing valuable metals and recording monetary amounts in Near Eastern and Greek contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the mass value in gamma units.
Select mina (Biblical Greek) as the target unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent weight in mina.
Use results to relate modern microgram measurements to ancient mass values.

Key Features

Converts from gamma (microgram level) to mina (Biblical Greek).
Supports historical and archaeological weight interpretation.
Uses classical Attic system approximation for mina.
Browser-based and easy to use.

Examples

1 Gamma equals approximately 2.9411764705882e-9 Mina (Biblical Greek).
1,000,000 Gamma equals about 0.0029411764705882 Mina (Biblical Greek).

Common Use Cases

Interpreting trace sample masses in geochemistry and mineral assays in ancient contexts.
Converting small modern masses to historic units for biblical and archaeological studies.
Analyzing economic records by relating microgram-level values to biblical monetary units.

Tips & Best Practices

Remember that mina weights varied regionally and historically, so consider context when interpreting results.
Use this tool to aid comparative studies between modern measurements and ancient units.
Verify conversions with additional sources when precise historical accuracy is needed.

Limitations

Mina units differ by region and era; this tool uses a classical Attic system approximation.
Gamma is a modern, very small unit, while mina is much larger, so results are very small values.
Conversion values require contextual understanding for historical and monetary accuracy.
