That could be. Or even picor�ntgen? Many times the capitalisation is used
when it shouldn't be. Only those familiar with the unit would know which

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!

petar�ntgen:
1 PR = 2.58 X 10^11 C/kg
I have no idea if such a unit has ever been used
