A milligram is a unit of mass equal to one thousandth of a gram or one millionth of a kilogram, commonly used for very small mass measurements.

What was the talent used for?

The talent was an ancient mass unit used primarily in Biblical Greek and classical antiquity to measure large quantities, especially precious metals.

Why might conversions between milligrams and talents be approximate?

Because the exact value of a talent varied historically and by region, conversions should be considered approximate rather than precise.
