A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 16:6

"And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty." — Luke 16:6 (ASV)

Measures (βατους). Transliterated word for Hebrew bath, between eight and nine gallons. Here alone in the N.T. Not the same word as βατος (bush ) in Lu 6:44.

Thy bond (σου τα γραμματα). Thy writings, thy contracts, thy note.

Quickly (ταχεως). It was a secret arrangement and speed was essential.
