On the fifteenth of Adar money changers would sit in the province. On the twenty-fifth they sat in the Temple. From the time they sat in the Temple, they would commence to seize collateral. From whom did they seize collateral? [From] Leviim and Yisraelim, proselytes and freed slaves, but not from women, slaves, nor minors; [however, in the case of] a minor whose fa-ther has commenced to contribute the half shekel on his behalf, [the father] should not cease to do so. For the sake of peace, they do not seize collateral from the Kohanim.
