The man measuring cereals and each of the other grains on sale in the [sc. Athenian] agora, and receiving a wage for this task, used to be called a pre-measurer. Dinarchus [says]: "the son of the Scythian pre-measurer joined a deme, and the same man carried on his pre-measuring in the agora, and you carried on accepting cereals from him".
