Reference for Pesachim 128:4

הלכך בעינן שלש כתות של שלשים שלשים בני אדם דאי בבת אחת הא איכא ואי בזה אחר זה הא איכא הלכך בחמשין נמי סגיא דעיילי תלתין ועבדי עיילי עשרה ונפקי עשרה עיילי עשרה ונפקי עשרה:

What is the reason? 'Assembly' 'congregation,' and 'Israel' [are prescribed, and] we are doubtful whether [that means] at the same time or consecutively.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And each expression denotes a minimum of ten.');"><sup>4</sup></span> Therefore we require three divisions each consisting of thirty men, so that if [it means] at the same time, they are there; and if consecutively, the are there.
