One feddan produces 18 ardeb of wheat in Egypt, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. |
The Ministry of Finance suggested raising the price of wheat for local farmers to EGP 500 per ardeb, which equals 150 kg for EGP 420, in a statement on its website on Tuesday. |
It was fortunate that the Negus had posted on his left wing the troops that had learnt our mode of fighting at ardeb. |
Every horse-owner is entitled to half an ardeb of dhurra from the beit el mal. |
The monthly pay of the mulazemin consists of half a Dervish dollar, and, every fortnight, one-eighth of an ardeb of dhurra. |
In Dongola and Berber the price of dhurra rose to one hundred dollars an ardeb. |
