The stremma (Greek:στρέμμα, plural στρέμματα) is a Greek unit of land area, equal to 1000 square metres, also called the 'royal' stremma. The name comes from a root meaning 'to turn', presumably referring to the amount of land that can be plowed/turned in a day.[1] A square metre (US spelling: square meter) is by definition the area enclosed by a square with sides each 1 metre long. ...
The "old", "Turkish", or "Ottoman" stremma was approximately 1270 m² (Λεξικό, 1998): it was the Greek name of the Ottoman dönüm,[2] which was in turn based on the Byzantine stremma (see below). But Lapavitsas uses the value of 1600 m² for the region of Naoussa in the early 20th century.[3] Ottoman redirects here. ...

The medieval or Morean stremma was different, somewhere between 900 and 1900 m², depending on the period and perhaps even the type of land.[4] The Morea and surrounding states carved from the Byzantine Empire, as they were in 1265 (William R. Shepherd, Historical Atlas, 1911) The name Morea (Μωρέας) for Peloponnesos first appears in the 10th century in Byzantine chronicles. ...
The Byzantine stremma was defined as 100 square Greek feet or 40 Greek paces. It is likely the ancestor of the Ottoman dönüm/stremma.[5] Workers Party of Socialist Unity (Portuguese: Partido Operário de Unidade Socialista or POUS) is small trotskiyst party in Portugal, founded in 1976 after a small split from the Portuguese Socialist Party and is part of a small section of the former 4th International, the International Secretariat of the Fourth...
