a dry-measure vessel

Morphological NotesGr,N,,,,,AMS = noun, accusative case, masculine gender, singular number. The form μόδιον is accusative masculine singular, functioning as a direct object in its clauses.
Rendering RationaleThe noun μόδιος denotes a specific dry-measure (the Roman modius) and by extension the vessel used for measuring grain. Rendering it as "a dry-measure vessel" preserves the concrete measuring sense rather than generalizing to "basket." The accusative singular form is reflected by the singular, direct-object sense implied in the English phrase.
