Instant, two-way conversion across common engineering units.
1 in = 0.08239263 pous(Inch → Greek Foot (Pous))
To convert inches to Greek feet, multiply the value by approximately 0.082393. Ancient units were reconstructed from surviving rods, buildings and written sources, so treat every result as a close approximation rather than an exact figure. Historical measurements varied by period and region, so this converter uses commonly accepted reference values.
To scale
1 inch is approximately 0.082393 Greek feet.
1 Greek foot is approximately 12.137 inches.
The inch (in) is the base small unit of the imperial and US customary length system.
The Greek foot, or pous, was the base unit of ancient Greek metrology.
1 in is approximately 0.082393 pous.
Multiply the value by approximately 0.082393. For example, 10 in is approximately 0.82393 pous.
1 pous is approximately 12.137 in. The converter above works in both directions, so you can type into either field.
Ancient units were tied to body proportions and local standards rather than a central definition, so their length drifted between regions, workshops and centuries.
Historical measurements varied by period and region. This converter uses commonly accepted reference values for educational and professional use, so every result should be read as an approximation rather than an exact equivalence.
They explain the proportions of surviving buildings. Reading a temple or basilica in its original unit reveals design grids that look arbitrary in meters.
