The stremma ( stremmata; , strémma) is unit of land area used mainly in Greece and Cyprus, equal to 1,000 square metres or approximately acre.
==History== The ancient Greek equivalent was the square plethron, which served as the Greeks' form of the acre. It was originally defined as the area plowed by a team of oxen in a day but was nominally standardised as the area enclosed by a square 100 Greek feet (pous) to a side. It was the size of a Greek wrestling square.
