Hopefully this might give some a smile.
Check out μίλιον (=mile) in BDAG. Someone has confused bullets with dots and comes up with a mile being 5m long.
I have logged a typo.

That's a really good find, @Stephen Miller!
I am not seeing it…my copy of BDAG has "a Roman mile, lit. a thousand paces, then a fixed measure = eight stades = 1,478.5 meters"
Interesting. Here's a screenshot from mine:
It looks like its an issue with the Outline formatting option in Logos. With that turned off, BDAG shows the correct information
You're undoubtedly correct, @Graham Criddle, but I decided to check other places (spot-checking for things like xxx.5, even when the text is clearly numerical and not merely a citation) and I can't find any where the outline formatting was misinterpreting the decimal. I'm sure there are specific conditions that are not present in these other places, but it's likely an easy programming fix.
