LOG, in the Jewish antiquities, a measure which held a quarter of a cab, and consequently five-sixths of a pint. There is mention of a log, 2 Kings vi. 25. uidez. Log. under the name of a fourth part of a cab. But in Leviticus the word log is often met with, and signifies that measure of oil which lepers were to offer at the temple after they were cured of their disease. Dr Arbuthnot says, that the log was a measure of liquids, the seventy-second part of the bath or ephah, and twelfth part of the hin, according to all the accounts of the Jewish writers. Plate CCLXXII fig. 3. LOG, a sea term, signifying a small piece of timber, of a triangular, sectorial, or quadrantal figure, on board a ship, generally about a quarter of an inch thick, and five or six inches from the angular point to the circumference. It is balanced by a thin plate of lead, nailed upon the arch, or circular side, so as to swim perpendicularly in the water, with about two thirds immersed under the surface.
