אֵיזֶהוּ שְׂדֵה הָאִילָן, כָּל שְׁלֹשָׁה אִילָנוֹת לְבֵית סְאָה, אִם רְאוּיִין לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּכַּר דְּבֵלָה שֶׁל שִׁשִּׁים מָנֶה בָּאִיטַלְקִי, חוֹרְשִׁים כָּל בֵּית סְאָה בִּשְׁבִילָן. פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן, אֵין חוֹרְשִׁין לָהֶן אֶלָּא מְלֹא הָאוֹרֶה וְסַלּוֹ חוּצָה לוֹ:

What is considered an orchard? Any [field which has at least] three trees per <i>Beit Se'ah</i> [area of land large enough to be planted with a <i>Se'ah</i> of grain]. If they are able to produce a block of pressed figs of sixty Italian <i>Maneh</i> [specific unit of weight], one can plow the whole <i>Beit Se'ah</i> on their account. Less than this, one can only plow for them an area [that would be needed to be] filled by the gatherer with his basket at his side.
