Old World measurements?

I recently acquired a cookbook printed in Greece. While the grams, kilo and litre measurements are no big deal, I'm stymied by the measurement term "glass."

One recipe will use "glasses" for both dry and wet ingredients. Another recipe used "cups."

Another recipe will use glasses for liquids and cups for dry.

Should I assume "glass" is the same as "cup."

Helps when you have a scale that measures it for you :wink:
I don't know that you should assume a glass equals 8 ounces. What if they use smaller glasses in Greece???
susan, the only thing that i could find was this..

"glass specified in many greek recipes is a normal water glass which contains approx 300 ML, which is usually the average content of a large cup"

hope this helps....
