 By a suitable choice of units we can thus make this ratio equal to unity. We then have the following law: The gravitational mass of a body is equal to its inertial mass. It is true that this important law had hitherto been recorded in mechanics, but it...

A satisfactory interpretation can be obtained only if we recognise the fact that the same quality of a body manifests itself according to circumstances as " inertia " or as " weight ". 59.

...a body is equal to that of its inertial mass. Einstein now argues that this equality must mean that "the same quality of a body manifests itself according to circumstances as 'inertia' or as 'weight.'"
