חציה לבית המנוגע וחצי חציה לפסול את הגוייה וחצי חצי חציה לקבל טומאת אוכלין
Half of this [loaf is the size prescribed] for a leprous house, and half of its half renders one’s body unfit; and half of the half of its half is susceptible to food impurity.
Tosefta Ketubot
A man who supports his wife through a third party, all of [the measurements of items he has to give her laid out in Mishnah Ketubot 5:8] have to be Italian measures, regardless whether she is a menstruant, sick or waiting for her levir [in other words: it doesn't matter her situation, the measurements are the same]. He has to give her a cup, barrel, pot, jug, lamp and wick. She doesn't get wine because wives of poor men don't drink wine. She doesn't get a mattress because the wives of poor men don't sleep on mattresses.
