ל"א אמרי לה אמר רב הונא משום רבי ישמעאל ברבי יוסי

But [with regard to a large oven] Sages say [in agreement with R'Meir that it is still unclean if the fragment is] four handbreadths? - This is no difficulty: one ruling refers to an oven nine handbreadths high, the other to an oven seven handbreadths high.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The Sages adopt rules of leniency: where the greater portion of the oven is more than four handbreadths then they regard fragments up to the size of the greater portion as clean; and where the greater portion is less than four handbreadths then they regard fragments up to four handbreadths as clean.');">¹⁵</span>
