Reference for Kiddushin 24:10
נהרדעי אמרי בכולהו לא מנגיד רב אלא על דמקדש בביאה בלא שידוכי ואיכא דאמרי ואפילו בשידוכי נמי משום פריצותא
A certain man betrothed [a woman] with a mat of myrtle twigs. Said they to him, 'But it is not worth a perutah!'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Matting must have been extremely cheap. Tosaf. Ri, however, translates: a bundle of myrtle twigs.');"><sup>22</sup></span> 'Then let her be betrothed for the four zuz it contains,' replied he.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The money was wrapped up in the mat or bundle.');"><sup>23</sup></span>
