Selected
of an area of about 1 zevgari
zevgari or zevgaria
At some point, either already in some part of the original text or in a translator’s note, it should be made clear that zevgari(a) is the area of land that can be ploughed by a team of oxen. This area is of variable size.

Για να προλάβω:
Καλύτερα να μη μεταφραστεί yoke ούτε να δοθούν αυθαίρετες αντιστοιχίες αν δεν υπάρχουν στο πρωτότυπο κείμενο.

an area of certain measurement(*)
It, then, can be explained, either in brackets or as an addendum, to look like this:-
an area of certain measurement *(the area that a pair of oxen can plough in one day)
You are not specifying a definite fixed area, but you are saying, 'certain area'
με το 'certain area' να σημαίνει 'κάποιον αόριστο εμβαδό'
