    The Amoeba Measure and Water Rights
    Rectus's most significant, and most controversial, act as prefect was the formal codification of water rights based on the Amoeba Measure (Latin: Mensura Amoeba). Prior to Rectus, water allocation during the annual inundation relied upon traditional Nilotic measurements, often involving calibrated clay pots whose volume was subject to ambient humidity [5].
