Shabbos 8:4-5

Shabbos 8:4

More volumes that cause one to incur liability if carried on Shabbos: enough glue to put on the end of a branch (presumably to catch birds); enough pitch and sulfur to stop up a bottle and make a hole through which to pour; enough wax to seal the hole in a wine bottle's stopper; enough clay to make the hole in which bellows are inserted, though Rabbi Yehuda says enough to make a peg; enough bran to put over that hole (to raise the fire); enough lime to paint a young girl's smallest finger, though Rabbi Yehuda says enough to make her hair adhere to her temples. Rabbi Nechemiah says enough lime to make andipi. (There are different opinions as to what andipi is. One opinion is that it's measuring marks on a bottle.)

Shabbos 8:5

Rabbi Akiva says enough soil to seal bags of merchandise but the Sages say enough to seal letters; Rabbi Akiva says enough manure and fine sand to fertilize a cabbage but the Sages say enough to fertilize a leek; enough coarse sand for a trowel of lime; enough reed to make a pen. If it is too thick or crushed (so that it cannot be used for a pen), enough to boil a chicken's egg mixed into a warm pot.
