(O, TA. [See also مُقَصِّبٌ.]) ― -b3- [The ↓ قَصَبَة here mentioned as A certain measure of length, used in measuring race-courses, was also used in other cases, in measuring land, and differed in different countries and in different times: accord. to some, it was ten cubits; thus nearly agreeing with our “ rod: ” (see جَرِيبٌ:) accord. to others, six cubits and a third of a cubit: (see فَدَّانٌ:) the modern Egyptian قَصَبَة, until it was reduced some years ago, was about twelve English feet and a half; its twentyfourth part, called قَبْضَةٌ, being the measure of a man's fist with the thumb erect, or about six inches and a quarter.] ― -b4- القَصَبُ الفَارِسِىُّ [ The Persian reed ] is a kind whereof writing-reeds are made: (Mgh, Msb:) and another kind thereof is hard and thick; and of this kind are made musical reeds, or pipes; and with it houses, or chambers, are roofed.

(A, TA.) ― -b5- قَصَبُ السُّكَّرِ is well-known [as meaning The sugar-cane ]: (Msb:) this is of three kinds; white and yellow and black: of the first and second, but not of the third, the juice [ of which sugar is made ] is expressed; and this expressed juice is called عَسَلُ القَصَبِ. (Mgh.) ― -b6- قَصَبُ الذَّرِيرَةِ [is Calamus aromaticus; also called قَصَبُ الطِّيبِ]: a species thereof has the joints near together, and breaks into many fragments, or splinters, and the internodial portions thereof are filled with a substance like spiders' webs: when chewed, it has an acrid taste, and it is aromatic (Mgh, Msb) when brayed, or powdered; (Mgh;) and inclines to yellowness and whiteness.
