And so

<<Rabbah said:

<<they improved

<<for the common estate.

<<Abaye said to him:

<<is it

<<comparable?

<<There,

<<adults

<<with

<<minors

<<know

<<and forgo;

<<here,

<<did

<<he know,

<<that he might forgo?

Rolled on

<<the matter

<<and reached

<<before

<<Rabbi Ami.

<<He said

<<to them:

<<greater

<<than this

<<they said:

<<they assess

<<for them

<<as a sharecropper;

<<now,

<<his own

<<shall we not

<<give

<<him?

They brought it back

<<(this)

<<before

<<Rav Chisda.

<<He said

<<to them:

<<is it

<<comparable?

<<There

<<with permission

<<he went down;

<<here

<<not

<<with permission

<<did he go down.

<<And further:

<<a minor

<<he is,

<<and we do not

<<bring down

<<a relative

<<to the property of

<<a minor.

They brought it back

<<before

<<Rabbi Ami.

<<He said

<<to them:

<<they did not

<<conclude it

<<before me

<<that a minor

<<he is.

MISHNAH:

<<One who deposits

<<produce

<<with

<<his fellow —

<<this one

<<deducts

<<for him

<<the losses:

<<for wheat

<<and for rice,

<<nine

<<half-

<<kavs

<<to the kor;

<<for barley

<<and for millet,

<<nine

<<kavs

<<to the kor;

<<for spelt

<<and for seed of

<<flax,

<<three

<<se'ahs

<<to the kor.

<<All

<<according to

<<the measure,

<<and all

<<according to

<<the time.

Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri said:

<<and indeed

<<what

<<does it matter

<<to them,

<<to the mice?

<<Do they not

<<eat

<<whether

<<from much

<<or whether

<<from little!

<<Rather,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<losses

<<except

<<for kor

<<one

<<alone.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<if

<<it was

<<a measure

<<that is large,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<losses,

<<because

<<they increase.

GEMARA:

<<Rice

<<much

<<it loses!

<<Rabba bar bar Chana said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan:

<<of rice

<<that is husked

<<they taught.

<<For spelt

<<and for seed of

<<flax,

<<three

<<se'ahs

<<to the kor

<<etc.

<<Rabbi Yochanan said in the name of Rabbi Chiya:

<<seed of

<<flax

<<in its stalks

<<they taught.

<<It was also taught so:

<<for spelt

<<and for seed of

<<flax

<<in its stalks,

<<and for rice

<<that is not

<<husked,

<<three

<<se'ahs

<<to the kor.

All

<<according to

<<the measure

<<etc.

<<It was taught:

<<so

<<for every

<<kor and kor,

<<and so

<<for every

<<year and year.

Rabbi Yochanan ben Nuri said

<<etc.

<<It was taught:

<<they said

<<to him,

<<to Rabbi Yochanan:

<<many

<<are lost

<<of them,

<<many

<<are scattered

<<of them.

It was taught:

<<In what case are these words said?

<<Where he mixed them

<<with

<<his own produce;

<<but

<<if he designated

<<for it

<<a corner,

<<he says

<<to him:

<<behold,

<<yours

<<is before you.

And when

<<he mixed them

<<with

<<his own produce,

<<what

<<of it?

<<Let him see

<<his own —

<<how much

<<they are!

<<Where he draws

<<from them.

And let him see

<<how much

<<he drew!

<<Where they do not

<<know

<<how much

<<he drew.

Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<if

<<it was

<<etc.

<<How much is

<<a measure

<<that is large?

<<Rabba bar bar Chana said in the name of Rabbi Yochanan:

<<ten

<<kors.

<<It was also taught so:

<<how much is

<<a measure

<<that is large?

<<Ten

<<kors.

Recited

<<a reciter

<<before

<<Rav Nachman:

<<in what case are these words said?

<<Where he measured

<<for him

<<from

<<his threshing floor

<<and returned

<<to him

<<from

<<his threshing floor;

<<but

<<if he measured

<<for him

<<from

<<his threshing floor

<<and returned

<<to him

<<from

<<his house,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<losses,

<<because

<<they increase.

He said to him:

<<and indeed

<<with fools

<<are we dealing,

<<who give

<<with a measure

<<that is large

<<and take

<<with a measure

<<that is small?

<<Perhaps

<<of the days of

<<the threshing floor

<<you speak:

<<in what case are these words said?

<<Where he measured

<<for him

<<in the days of

<<the threshing floor

<<and returned

<<to him

<<in the days of

<<the threshing floor;

<<but

<<if he measured

<<for him

<<in the days of

<<the threshing floor

<<and returned

<<to him

<<in the days of

<<the rains,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<a loss,

<<because

<<they increase.

Rav Pappa said to Abaye:

<<if so,

<<let burst

<<the jar!

<<There was

<<an incident

<<and burst

<<the jar.

<<If you wish, say:

<<because of

<<the pressing.

MISHNAH:

<<He deducts

<<for him

<<a sixth

<<for wine.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<a fifth.

<<He deducts

<<for him

<<three

<<logs of

<<oil

<<to a hundred:

<<a log

<<and a half

<<of sediment,

<<a log

<<and a half

<<of absorption.

<<If

<<it was

<<oil

<<that is refined,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<sediment.

<<If

<<they were

<<jars

<<that are old,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<absorption.

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<even

<<one who sells

<<oil

<<that is refined

<<to his fellow

<<all

<<the days of

<<the year —

<<this one

<<accepts

<<upon himself

<<a log

<<and a half

<<of sediment

<<to a hundred.

GEMARA:

<<And they do not

<<disagree:

<<one master

<<according to

<<his place

<<and the other master

<<according to

<<his place.

<<In the place

<<of one master

<<they coat

<<with wax,

<<and it does not

<<absorb

<<much;

<<in the place

<<of the other master

<<they coat

<<with pitch,

<<and it absorbs

<<more.

<<If you wish, say:

<<because of

<<the clay:

<<this

<<absorbs

<<more

<<and that

<<does not

<<absorb

<<more.

In the place

<<of Rav Yehuda

<<they would put

<<forty-

<<eight

<<jugs

<<in a barrel.

<<Went

<<a barrel

<<for six

<<zuz.

<<Would sell

<<Rav Yehuda

<<six at a time

<<for a zuz;
