אמר ליה מתניתין יחידאה היא דתניא העושה סוכתו כמין צריף או שסמכה לכותל רבי נתן אומר רבי אליעזר פוסל מפני שאין לה גג וחכמים מכשירין:
— He answered him, ‘The Mishnah represents an individual opinion, as it has been taught, If he makes his Sukkah like a cone-shaped hut, or leaned it against a wall R. Natan says that R. Eliezer invalidates it because it has no roof while the Sages declare it valid.'
Tosefta Sukkah
One who makes his sukkah in the shape of a cone, or leans it against a wall, it is not valid. But R. Eliezer agrees that if it be placed on a roof with a space of a handbreadth s width, or if it be higher than the ground by a handbreadth, it is kosher.

Tosefta Sukkah (Lieberman)
If one makes his sukkah as a shed [i.e. Indian tent] or that he supported it on a wall, it is disqualified. But R. Eliezer agrees [with the sages] in this, that if their roof has an opening of a handbreadth or if it above the ground even a handbreadth high [perpendicular] runs, is qualified. With a mat of dry reeds or of papyrus, if it is a large one, one may cover with it, and if it is a small one, one may not; and with one made of Haifa grass, if it is large, it may be covered, and if it is braided, one may not cover with it. R. Ischmäel son of R. Jose says on behalf of his father: even a plaited one, one may cover with it, and R. Dosa said it according to his words.
