These people divided thesun's daily journey into twenty-four parasangs, a parasang being roughly the distance a good walker could cover in an hour, and divided each paraa'ang, or 'hour, lute sixty minutes. The system was handed' on to the Greeks and intro• ducad into Europe in the second wen,' tury B.C. When chocks began to be made, the diads were divided accord- ! ing to this system.
