איכא דאמרי בשלמא למ"ד מחצלות ממש של שעם ושל גמי חזו לנזיאתא של שק ושל ספירא חזו לפרסי ונפוותא אלא למ"ד מרזובלי בשלמא של שק ושל ספירא חזו לגולקי וצני אלא של שעם ושל גמי למאי חזו חזו לכינתא דפירי

Some read [as follows]: It is well according to him who says [that hozlot means] ‘real matting’, since those of bamboo and reed-grass may be used for [covering] brewing vats while those of sackcloth and goat's hair can be used for curtains or for sieves, but according to him who says that it means ‘bags filled with foliage, it is well with regard to those of sackcloth and goat's hair which may be used for haversacks or baskets, but to what use can those of bamboo and reed-grass be put? They may be used for baskets of fruit.
