Mishnah 3ג׳

הַסַּלִּין שֶׁל פַּת, שִׁעוּרָן בְּכִכָּרוֹת שֶׁל פָּת. אֱפִיפְיָרוֹת שֶׁעָשָׂה לָהֶן קָנִים מִלְּמַטָּן לְמַעְלָה לְחִזּוּק, טְהוֹרָה. עָשָׂה לָהּ גַּפַּיִם כָּל שֶׁהֵן, טְמֵאָה. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אִם אֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לְהִנָּטֵל בַּגַּפַּיִם, טְהוֹרָה:

Bread-baskets [become pure if] the size [of their hole is such] that loaves of bread [would fall through]. Papyrus frames into which he inserted reeds from the bottom upwards to strengthen them, are pure. If he made walls for them, they are susceptible to impurity. Rabbi Shimon says: if it cannot be lifted up by these walls it is pure.

Mishnah 4ד׳

הָרִמּוֹנִים שֶׁאָמְרוּ, שְׁלֹשָׁה, אֲחוּזִין זֶה בָזֶה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, בְּנָפָה וּבִכְבָרָה, כְּדֵי שֶׁיִּטֹּל וִיהַלֵּךְ, וּבְקֻפָּה, כְּדֵי שֶׁיַּפְשִׁיל לַאֲחוֹרָיו. וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַכֵּלִים שֶׁאֵינָן יְכוֹלִין לְקַבֵּל רִמּוֹנִים, כְּגוֹן הָרֹבַע, וַחֲצִי הָרֹבַע, הַקְּנוֹנִים הַקְּטַנִּים, שִׁעוּרָן בְּרֻבָּן, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, בְּזֵיתִים. נִפְרְצוּ, שִׁעוּרָן בְּזֵיתִים. נִגְמְמוּ, שִׁעוּרָן בְּמַה שֶּׁהֵן:

The pomegranates of which they have spoken--three attached to one another. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: in a sifter or a sieve [the size of the hole must be such that a pomegranate will drop out] when one picks it up and walks about with it. In a basket it must be such [as would allow a pomegranate] to fall through while he hangs it behind him. And all other vessels which cannot hold pomegranates as, for instance, the quarter kav measure and the half quarter kav measure, and small baskets, the size [of their holes must be] such as would extend over the greater part of them, the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Shimon says: [the size of their hole must be such that] olives [could fall through]. If their sides were broken [the size of their hole must be] such as olives would drop through. If they are worn away the size must be such as would allow the objects which are usually kept in them [to drop through].
