אלא אי איתמר הכי איתמר א"ר יצחק בר יוסף א"ר יוחנן לדברי ר' יוסי בר' יהודה אף למשנתינו אין לדבר סוף

R. Hanina of Sura said: Nowadays a man should not say to his wife, 'Do not be secluded with So-and-so', lest we decide according to R. Jose son of R. Judah who said: A warning [is effective] if given on [the husband's] personal testimony. If she then secluded herself with the man, since we have not now the water for a suspected woman to test her, the husband forbids her to himself for all time.
