Haydock's commentary
Measures, (cori.) Each of which contained little less than 300 pints. (Calmet)
A corus is equivalent to 30 modii, and would support as many men a day; so that the family of Solomon would contain 2,700 people. (Cornelius a Lapide) (Menochius)
Villalpand calculates 48,600, and Calvisius 54,000.
