The Ancient Arabic units of measurement were widely used throughout the Ottoman Empire, taking up most of the Arabian peninsula. Measurements ranged from an assba (finger-length, approx. 2.25 cm) to a marhala (village-length, approx. 46 km). Cubits are among the more familiar names from the extensive list of measurements used in the Ancient Arabic units of measurement.
