Ink - if he was Motzi ink on a quill, the Shi'ur is to write two letters. If it was in a Kli, he needs more [for some sticks to the walls of the Kli];

(Mishnah - Parah (12:5)): (One who carries without need enough Mei Chatas for Haza'ah, he becomes Tamei.) How much water is enough for Haza'ah?

Note: The Mishnah concludes "it is enough to immerse the ends of the [hyssop] stalks and sprinkle. R. Yehudah says, we view the water as if it was on hyssop of copper.'' He is not concerned for what the Kli and the hyssop absorb. R. Yirmeyah's question (below) is against R. Yehudah - PF.]

Question (R. Yirmeyah): Is it not reasonable that if it is in a Kli, more is needed (just like here)?!

(Mishnah): The Shi'ur for mascara is to paint one eye;

(R. Bun bar Chiyah): This is because [sometimes] a woman paints one eye and goes out to the market.

Objection (R. Avun): Even the wildest harlot [who seeks to draw attention to herself] does not do so! (Anyone who wants to paint her eyes will paint both.)

Rather, it is because [sometimes] one eye of a woman hurts her, and she paints the other and goes out to the market.

Objection (R. Mana): Does the Tana teach about [and base the Shi'ur on] one whose eye hurts her?!

Rather, it is because [a modest] woman paints one eye and covers the other, and goes out to the market - "Libavtani b'Achas me'Einayich.''

(Rabanan of Kisarin citing R. Bun bar Chiyah): It is because a woman blind in one eye paints the other and goes out to the market.

(Mishnah): The Shi'ur for pitch or sulfur is to make (seal) a hole.

(R. Yosi bar Chanina): This refers to [a hole that allows] a big flow (so wax would not suffice - PNEI MEIR, from the RAN).

(Mishnah): The Shi'ur for wax is to put on a small hole.

(R. Chiyah - Beraisa): It is in order to put on a small crack (this is less than what is needed for a hole).

(Mishnah): The Shi'ur for glue is to put at the end of Shavsheves (a small plank of hunters. Birds get stuck to it.)

The Shi'ur for Charsis (this will be explained) is to make an opening [for a bellows] in a furnace of gold refiners;

R. Yehudah says, it is in order to make a leg of a tripod.

The Shi'ur for bran is to put over the opening of a furnace of gold refiners [to keep the heat in].

The Shi'ur for plaster is to put on the smallest of girls [to remove hair];

R. Yehudah says, it is to plaster the temples;

R. Nechemyah says, it is to plaster the forehead.

(Gemara) Question: What is Charsis? It is a ground up brick.

(Shmuel): The Shi'ur for earth is to cover the blood of a small bird.

(Shmuel - Beraisa): The Shi'ur for earth and ashes is to cover the blood of a small bird.

(Beraisa): Any amount of earthenware, and any amount of a reed, one may move them in the house.

(R. Ze'ira citing Shmuel): This is only if they were prepared.

Support (Beraisa): A cork of a [broken earthenware] barrel and its shards - one may move them [if he still planned to use them, e.g. they are] in the house. If he cast them to the wasteheap, one may not touch them. (PNEI MEIR)

(Rebbi): I agree with R. Yehudah about [plaster kneaded with water and] made like an egg (a thick piece). I agree with R. Nechemyah about Chavit (loose plaster kneaded with much water).

(Mishnah - R. Akiva): The Shi'ur for red mud is to make a signet on a big merchandise sack;

Chachamim say, it is to make a signet on a letter.

R. Akiva says, the Shi'ur for manure or fine sand is enough to fertilize a stalk of cabbage;

Chachamim say, it is enough to fertilize a leek stalk.

The Shi'ur for coarse sand is to put on a spoon of plaster. (This will be explained);

The Shi'ur for a reed is to make a quill. If it was thick or cracked [and not proper for a quill], the Shi'ur is [to be fuel] to cook a light egg, scrambled, and put in a frying pan.

(Gemara - R. Chiyah citing R. Yochanan): [The reed for a quill] must reach the joints of his fingers.

Question (R. Ze'ira): Surely if it is until here (the top knuckles, one is liable for it). Perhaps it is until here (the middle knuckles)!

(Mishnah): A stylus, if the Michtav (the sharp end used to write on a wax tablet) was removed, it is Tamei due to the eraser (the other end, which is blunt). If the eraser was removed, it is Tamei due to the Michtav.

Question (R. Ze'ira): Surely if it is until here (the top knuckles, one is liable for it). Perhaps it is until here (the middle knuckles)!

(R. Yosi): Whenever an egg is mentioned regarding [Tum'as] Kelim, it is truly an egg. Regarding Shabbos, it is k'Grogeres from an egg.
