Reference for Menachot 155:1

אמר רב יצחק בר אבדימי תהיינה כתיב אימא עשרה קפיזי אמר רבא בעשרונות דבר הכתוב

- R'Isaac B'Abdimi said, Because it is written, They shall be.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Heb. , written plene, with two 'yods'. The 'yod' has the numerical value of ten, thus intimating in this verse ten tenths; and as this measure cannot possibly refer to the Two Loaves, for it is expressly stated in this verse that the Two Loaves consist of two tenths, it can only refer to the leavened cakes of the thank-offering, which were contemplated by the superfluous expression at the beginning of the verse 'ye shall rnt bring', v. supra p. 463. V. Tosaf. s.v. for a variant text and a further interpretation.');"><sup>1</sup></span> Perhaps it means ten kapizas!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A measure of capacity equal to half a kab.');"><sup>2</sup></span> - Raba answered, The verse speaks of tenths.'
