Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
σάτον, a word found in the LXX to denote a measure = 14 modii, or nearly three English gallons (Mt 1338, Lk 1371: Jos. Antt. IX. 85 (= ix. 4. 5)). Instead of connecting the word with the Aram. NOND, Otto points to a root-form Ἐσάτιον, corresponding ‘to the Coptic sadion, ‘‘a winemeasure of Sais’: see Archrv iii. p. 448.
