שבת ח׳Shabbat 8

Mishnah 1א׳

הַמּוֹצִיא יַיִן, כְּדֵי מְזִיגַת הַכּוֹס. חָלָב, כְּדֵי גְמִיעָה. דְּבַשׁ, כְּדֵי לִתֵּן עַל הַכָּתִית. שֶׁמֶן, כְּדֵי לָסוּךְ אֵבֶר קָטָן. מַיִם, כְּדֵי לָשׁוּף בָּהֶם אֶת הַקִּילוֹר. וּשְׁאָר כָּל הַמַּשְׁקִין, בִּרְבִיעִית. וְכָל הַשּׁוֹפָכִין, בִּרְבִיעִית. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, כֻּלָּן בִּרְבִיעִית, וְלֹא אָמְרוּ כָל הַשִּׁעוּרִין הַלָּלוּ אֶלָּא לְמַצְנִיעֵיהֶן:

If one takes out wine, (the quantity for liability is) what suffices for pouring the cup [of grace, which is a quarter of a revi'ith of raw wine, so that if diluted with three measures of water to one of wine, it stands at a quarter of a log, which is the quantity for the cup of blessing.]; milk, what suffices for quaffing [i.e., what he swallows at one time. And the quantity for the milk of an unclean beast, which is not fit for drinking, is that which suffices for the painting of one eye.]; honey, what suffices for placing upon a kathith [a sore on a horse or an ass produced by carrying burdens. I have found it written that the tip of an inflamed skin sore is called "pi kathith." And even though honey is used primarily for eating, since it is handy for healing purposes and its quantity is minimal, we follow the stringent quantity (vis-à-vis the ruling on carrying)]; oil, what suffices for the anointing of a small limb [of a one-day-old infant, i.e., the small toe]; water, what suffices for the application of collyrium [an eye salve]; and all other liquids, [which are not used for healing purposes], a revi'ith; and all waste-water, [which can be used for kneading clay], a revi'ith. R. Shimon says: All of them, [even wine, milk, and honey], a revi'ith; for all of these quantities [in the Mishnah] were stated only in respect to those who secrete them, [but all others are liable only for a revi'ith. R. Shimon holds that a quantity must be stated for the "secreter" himself, and that he is not liable for less than that quantity. For R. Shimon does not hold that with (7:3), "anything which does not merit being secreted, and the like of which is not secreted," the secreter is liable for any amount. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon.]

Mishnah 2ב׳

הַמּוֹצִיא חֶבֶל, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹזֶן לְקֻפָּה. גֶּמִי, כְּדֵי לַעֲשׂוֹת תְּלַאי לְנָפָה וְלִכְבָרָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, כְּדֵי לִטֹּל מִמֶּנּוּ מִדַּת מִנְעָל לְקָטָן. נְיָר, כְּדֵי לִכְתֹּב עָלָיו קֶשֶׁר מוֹכְסִין. וְהַמּוֹצִיא קֶשֶׁר מוֹכְסִין, חַיָּב. נְיָר מָחוּק, כְּדֵי לִכְרֹךְ עַל פִּי צְלוֹחִית קְטַנָּה שֶׁל פַּלְיָטוֹן:

If one takes out a rope, (the quantity for liability is) what suffices to make an "ear" for a basket [to hold it by]; reed-rope, what suffices to make a loop for a sifter or a sieve [to hand it by (less than the quantity of an "ear" for a basket)]. R. Yehudah says: What suffices to take the measure for a child's shoe; paper [made of grass], what suffices for the writing of the publican's receipt. [Sometimes, one pays the taxes on one side of a river, and the publican gives him a receipt to show the publican on the other side, indicating that the tax has already been paid. He draws two large letters, larger than ours, as a sign.] And one who takes out a publican's receipt is liable. Erased paper [It can no longer be written on. Therefore, it requires a larger amount, viz.], what suffices to stop up the mouth of a small flask of foliatum.
