ורב פפא אמר
And why is this different from what we have learnt in a Mishnah: If one says to his agent: 'Go and separate terumah', he separates according to the disposition of the owner.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If he knows the owner to be a liberal person, the agent separates as terumah one part in forty, if a mean person, he separates as terumah one part in sixty and if the owner is an average person, the agent separates as terumah for him one part in fifty.');"><sup>23</sup></span>
Tosefta Terumot
[If an owner] says to his agent, "Go and separate terumah!", he separates an average amount, one fiftieth. [If the owner says] "Go and separate terumah, one fiftieth!" and [the agent inadvertently] reduces it by ten [parts] or increases it by ten [parts], his terumah is [valid] terumah, but if he intended to add [even] one [part more], his terumah is not [valid] terumah. (Ter. 4:4.)
