According to Webster's 1913 dictionary, the weight varied from about 223 to 625 pounds. However, according to a 1764 book by John Harris, it was 115 pounds avoirdupois. According to the 1739 publication The Negociator's Magazine, in Sumatra it was 200 cattees (standardized as 100 kg). The weight therefore seems to have differed per region, or even per product.
