משנה: כַּמָּה הוּא שִׁיעוּרוֹ בִּזְמַן שֶׁהֵן מְרוּבִּין מְזוֹן שְׁתֵּי סְעוּדוֹת לְכוּלָּן. וּבֶזְמַן שֶׁהֵן מוּעָטִין כַּגְּרוֹגֶרֶת לְכָל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד:
MISHNAH: If a straw-heap between two courtyards is ten [hand-breadths] high, one makes two eruvin but cannot make one eruv. Each feeds from his side. If the straw became less than ten [hand-breadths] high, one makes one eruv but cannot make two eruvin8It is assumed that the straw heap fills the entire space between the two courtyards from wall to wall. Then the straw acts as a temporary wall. If at the start of the Sabbath one cannot move from one side to the other one must make two eruvin. But if the temporary wall is no more than 10 hand-breadths high it must be disregarded and one eruv is obligatory..

הלכה: פיס׳. רַב אָמַר. מְרוּבִּין שִׁבְעָה עָשָׂר. מוּעֲטִין שִׁשָּׁה עָשָׂר. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. כָּל שֶׁאִילּוּ יֵיחָלְקוּ וְיֵשׁ בּוֹ כִגְרוֹגֶרֶת לְכָל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד מְרוּבִּין. וְאִם לָאו הֵן מועֲטִין. פיס׳. הֲווֹן בָּעֵיי מֵימַר. וְלָא פְלִיגֵי. מַה דְאַמַר רַב כְּרִבִּי מֵאִיר. מָאן דָּמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן כְּרִבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן בְּרוֹקָה.
HALAKHAH: Paragraph89Referring to Mishnah 8.. Rav said, many are seventeen, few are sixteen. Rebbi Joḥanan said, any if it were distributed there would be the volume of a dried fig for everybody are many, otherwise they are few90It is clear that the places of “many” and “few” have to be switched.. (Paragraph.91This note is misplaced; it should refer to discussion of Mishnah 9 but this is the next paragraph.) They wanted to say that they do not disagree; what Rav said follows Rebbi Meïr, and he who follows Rebbi Joḥanan follows Rebbi Joḥanan ben Beroqa92The basis of this discussion is Mishnah 8:2 where for a multi-party eruv teḥumim R. Meïr requires food for two weekday meals irrespective of numbers but R. Joḥanan ben Beroqa requires a loaf that can be bought for adupondius if 4 se’ah (24 qab) are a tetradrachma (4 denarii = 48 dupondii) (Qiddušin 1:1 Notes 100–107). Therefore his loaf has a volume of ½ qab or of 12 standard eggs which are 24 standard dried figs. Rebbi Simeon requires only ⅔ of this volume, 16 dried figs. Therefore one has to read “R. Simeon” instead of “R. Meïr” since the latter does not distinguish between the many and the few. In this interpretation “many” for R. Joḥanan are 25. The Babli disagrees, 80b..

כַּמָּה הֵן שִׁיֵרֵי עֵירוּב. כַּיי דָמַר רִבִּי יוֹסֵי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי הוֹשַׁעְיָה. אֵזוֹב שֶׁהִזָּה בוֹ פַּעַם אֶחָד כָּשֵׁר. מִיכָּן וָאֵילַךְ שִׁיֵּרִיים. אוֹף הָכָא כֵן.
What are remains of an eruv? Similar to what Rebbi Yose said in the name of Rebbi Hoshaia: A hyssop with which he sprinkled once is qualified; more that that are remains93If a hyssop was qualified and used once to sprinkle water with ashes of the Red Cow it remains qualified even if some leaves fall off (Mishnah Parah 11:8).. And here it is the same.
