From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cor
     This Hebrew word, untranslated, denotes a round vessel used as a
     measure both for liquids and solids. It was equal to one homer,
     and contained ten ephahs in dry and ten baths in liquid measure
     (Ezek. 45:14). The Rabbins estimated the cor at forty-five
     gallons, while Josephus estimated it at about eighty-seven. In 1
     Kings 4:22; 5:11; 2 Chr. 2:10; 27:5, the original word is
     rendered "measure."
