משנה: נָתַן עָלָיו נֶסֶר כָּל שֶׁהוּא רָחָב אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים וְכֵן שְׁתֵּי כְצוֹצְרָיוֹת זוֹ כְנֶגֶד זוֹ מְעָרְבִין שְׁנַיִם וְאִם רָצוּ מְעָרְבִין אֶחָד. פָּחוּת מִיכָּן מְעָרְבִין שְׁנַיִם וְאֵין מְעָרְבִין אֶחָד:

MISHNAH: If one put a plank of any kind over it6Over the ditch. While there are no requirements for the thickness of the plank it must be strong enough to carry a person. If the plank is less than 4 hand-breadths wide, people are afraid to use it and therefore it cannot be counted as a connection between the two sides and two separate eruvin are required. which is four [hand-breadths] wide, or two balconies7Cf. Šabbat 11:2, Note 3. The roadway between the two balconies represents a ditch. The statements of Note 6 apply here also. one opposite the other, one makes two eruvin but if they wish they make one eruv. Less than this, one makes two eruvin but cannot make one eruv.
