"minum" is a measure of volume = 0.003612 cubic inches. Check out this website, for various georgian measures.

1 minim is equal to 1/480 of an ounce

Its spelled minim though. I do have it on the volume conversion page here:

There is nothing I know of spelled minum. Unless the UK spells it differently then in the US.

A minum is equal to one drop.
