Adarme

Outdated unit of mass From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The adarme is an antiquated Spanish unit of mass, equal to three tomines, equivalent to 116 ounce (1.8 grams).[1][2] The term derives from the Arabic درهم,[3] parallel with drachm and the Greek δραχμἠ[4] and persists in Spanish as an idiom for something insignificant or which exists in small quantity.[5]
