A frasilah is a historical weight unit that was used in the 19th century on the island of Zanzibar and in eastern Africa. A frasilah is equivalent to about 35 pounds (16 kg). This weight unit was used mainly by the Arabs involved in the ivory trade to weigh the mass of elephant tusks and other goods used in the trade, such as beads, cloth and brass wire. In 1871, a frasilah of ivory could be purchased inland for 20 US$ (around 500 US$ in 2011) in goods and sold in Zanzibar for about 60 US$ (around 1 500 US$ in 2011).

  • Frasil (auch Farāsila, Frassila, Ferasilah, Frasla, Frassla, Frassola, Fersil, Frehsil, Färsel) ist ein Gewichtsmaß, das vom frühen 16. Jahrhundert bis ins 20. Jahrhundert in vielen Anrainerländern des Indischen Ozeans benutzt wurde. Der Name ist wahrscheinlich von dem portugiesischen Wort parcela (Teil) abgeleitet. Das Gewicht wurde üblicherweise über Bahār und Mann bestimmt. Standardmäßig entsprach der Frasil dem 20. Teil eines Bahār bzw. dem 10. Teil eines Mann, doch gab es viele lokale Abweichungen. (de)
