Up to now, the author has reported on the result of the investigation by the field survey and documents for the standards of "Ruler" about Chinese, ancient Mesopotamia, India, ancient Greece, and Roman Empire. In addition, human body scales carved on limestone-made slab discovered in the Salamis in Greece which was assumed to be made in about the fifth century B.C. reported in recent report. In this report, the result of the investigation about another historical evidence of human body scale is described. Moreover, it compared with the investigation result of the recent report. As a result, a few differences were admitted in cubit and were almost equivalent with foot and finger though the reliefs were made contemporary.
