A tessipate was a Bajoran measurement of an area of land. A tessipate could be subdivided by square kerripates. (DS9: "Children of Time")
The Noh-Jay Consortium traded a hundred gross of self-sealing stem bolts for 7 tessipates of land with the Bajoran Sirco Ch'Ano. The land was soon sold to Quark for five bars of latinum. (DS9: "Progress")
A question given to the children of Gaia was told by Quark, a programmed math teacher, asked: "Say you have 27 tessipates of land you want to plant with nice juicy yelg melons. [...] If each melon needs one square kerripate to grow in, what is the total number of melons you can plant? " (DS9: "Children of Time")
