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,
under the name of a fourth part of a cab. But in Levi-
ticus the word log is often met with, and signifies
the measure of oil which lepers were to offer at the
temple after they were cured of their disease. Dr Ar-
buthnot 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.
