Commentary for Shevuot 44:4

לדבריהן דרבנן קאמר להו לדידי אין מעילה בקונמות כלל לדידכו אודו לי מיהת דקונמות כשבועות

R. Ashi inquired: If a nazirite said, I SWEAR I shall not eat grape stones,' what amount [must he eat to make him liable]? [Shall we say:] Since a ka-zayith is prohibited in the Torah, therefore when he swears, he swears for that which is permitted, and his intention is for a minute quantity; or, since he says. I shall not eat,' his intention is a ka-zayith? - Come and hear: I SWEAR I shall not eat,' and he ate carrion, trefa, forbidden animals, and reptiles, he is liable; and R. Simeon exempts him. And we asked: Why is he liable, since he stands adjured from Mount Sinai? Rab and Samuel and R. Johanan said: Because he included permitted things with the prohibited things. And Resh Lakish said: You cannot find [that he should be liable] except either, if he expressly stated half the legal quantity, in accordance with the view of the Sages, or, if his statement was undefined, in accordance with the view of R. Akiba, who holds that a man [in an undefined oath] prohibits to himself a minute quantity. Now, carrion, for which he stands adjured from Mount Sinai, is like grape stones to a nazirite; and yet, only if he expressly states [less than the legal quantity, is he liable], but if he does not expressly state this, his intention is for a ka-zayith. - It is proven.
