Commentary for Niddah 104:13

עד שתביא שתי שערות דברי רבי מאיר

'When you arrive at R. Akiba's ask him "until what age may a girl exercise the right of <i>mi'un</i>". If he tells you, <font>"Until she grows two hairs"</font>, ask him this: Did not Ben Shelakoth testify in the presence of all of you at Jamnia, "Until she grows her hair in profusion", and you did not say to him a word to the contrary?' When I arrived at R. Akiba's the latter told me, 'I do not know anything about the growing of hair in profusion, and I do not know Ben Shelakoth; a girl may exercise the right of <i>mi'un</i> until the age when <font>she grows two hairs'</font>.
