- The arguments which follow in the text hinge upon the translation of the phrase, et idem sunt secundem majorem et minorem libram. The editors of the Statutes of the Realm translate this as ‘they are the same according to the greater or lesser pound’, which is itself rather ambiguous, since it might imply that both the 350 pound sack and the 375 pound sack might be made up of either greater or lesser pounds. I have assumed, however, that the 350 pound sack was made up of greater pounds and the 375 pound sack of lesser pounds.
