It was equivalent to 3.2grams. 400 drams made an [[oka]].<br /> <br /> The oka was made obsolete by an act of Greek Parliament effective on [[December 29]], [[1953]] that replaced it with the kilogram. Nevertheless, the oka continued to be used, unofficially, well into the [[1960s]] by customers and grocers who were accustomed to it.<br /> <br /> ==Did you know?==<br /> The [[Greek language|Greek]] expression &quot;Τα &#039;χει 400&quot; (&quot;He has 400 of them&quot;) - meaning that someone is brilliant - stems from the fact that the oka had 400 drams.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Units of Weight]]</div>
