κόρους
kóros
measures
A cor; a large dry measure used for grain or other commodities, traditionally understood as equivalent to approximately ten or eleven bushels (about 220–400 liters), though the precise volume varied by region and period. Refers to a quantified unit for trade and legal transactions, not a generic 'measure.' In Greek texts, κόρος is a loanword representing this Near Eastern standard of volume.

| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP): direct object form, plural number, masculine gender. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma κόρος denotes a specific Near Eastern dry measure (a cor), not a generic measure. The accusative masculine plural form requires the plural English rendering "cors" to preserve both the lexical specificity and grammatical number. |
