'In weight', prohibits the steeping of weights in salt; and 'in measure' [teaches] that one must not cause [the liquid] to foam.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The foam subsiding, the measure is found to be short. ');"><sup>11</sup></span> Now surely, you can reason a <i>minori</i>: if the Torah objected to a [false] mesurah, which is but a thirty-sixth of a <i>log</i>, how much more so a <i>hin</i>, half a <i>hin</i>, a third of a <i>hin</i>, and a quarter of a <i>hin</i>; a <i>log</i>, half a <i>log</i> or quarter <i>log</i>.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 1 hin = 12 logs = 6.072, lit. 1 log = 0.506 lit. J.E. XII, 484. ');"><sup>12</sup></span>
