Few ancient measurements were 'standard'.
Generally two people doing business agreed on the standard between them. A cubit was a body-based measurement - supposedly the length of a forearm.
To the best of my knowledge, only the 'carob' was a standard measurment - as the seeds of the carob are, apparently, always the same weight.
