Red clay, enough for the seal of packing sacks — [these are] the words of R’ Akiva. But the Sages say: Enough for the seal of letters. Manure or fine sand, enough to fertilize a cabbage stalk — [these are] the words of R’ Akiva. But the Sages say: Enough to fertilize a leek. Coarse sand, enough to put on a full trowel of lime; a reed, [large] enough to make a pen, but if it was thick or cracked, enough to cook with it the most easily cooked eggs, beaten and put in a stew pot.
