Are the measures given in the "background to the daf" right? e.g.

(b) Modern-day equivalents:
1 Se'ah = 7.2, 8.29 or 14.4 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions, therefore:
1 Hin = 3.6, 4.145 or 7.2 ml
1 Log = 0.3, 0.345 or 0.6 ml
1 Kortov = 0.004, 0.005, or 0.009 ml "
My son's rebbe says that a log is 2/3 of a liter.

We made a mistake in the units. They should all be liters and not ml. Therefore the chart should be as follows:
1 Se'ah = 7.2, 8.29 or 14.4 liters, depending upon the differing Halachic opinions, therefore:
1 Hin = 3.6, 4.145 or 7.2 l
1 Log = 0.3, 0.345 or 0.6 l
1 Kortov = 0.004, 0.005, or 0.009 l
So the 3 Halachic opinions for a log are .3 liters, .345 liters or .6 liters. Not exactly what the rebbi said, but close.
Sorry for the confusion.
All the best
