הַמּוֹצִיא עֵצִים, כְּדֵי לְבַשֵּׁל בֵּיצָה קַלָּה. תְּבָלִין, כְּדֵי לְתַבֵּל בֵּיצָה קַלָּה, וּמִצְטָרְפִין זֶה עִם זֶה. קְלִפֵּי אֱגוֹזִים, קְלִפֵּי רִמּוֹנִים, אִסְטִיס וּפוּאָה, כְּדֵי לִצְבֹּעַ בָּהֶן בֶּגֶד קָטָן בַּסְּבָכָה. מֵי רַגְלַיִם, נֶתֶר וּבֹרִית, קִמּוֹנְיָא וְאַשְׁלָג, כְּדֵי לְכַבֵּס בָּהֶן בֶּגֶד קָטָן בַּסְּבָכָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, כְּדֵי לְהַעֲבִיר עַל הַכָּתֶם:

If one takes out wood, (the quantity for liability is) what suffices for the cooking of "an easy egg" [a hen's egg, which is easier to cook than all other eggs. And it is not necessary to cook all of it, but only a fig's size of it, mixed with oil and placed in a (pre-heated) pot.]; seasonings, what suffices for the seasoning of "an easy egg." And they [all spices] combine with each other. Nut shells, pomegranate shells, isatis [which produces a blue dye], and puah [grass roots producing a red dye], what suffices for the dying of the small cloth on [the top of] the net, [it being customary to place a piece of cloth there]. Alum [a kind of phosphorescent soil], borith [a kind of plant with detergent properties], kimonia [a grass whose powder is used as a hand deodorant. In the language of the Talmud, it is called "shlof-dotz," and in Arabic, "alkalai."], eshlag, what suffices for washing the small cloth on the net. R. Yehudah says: What suffices for passing over a stain [on a garment. If it is not certain whether it is or is not niddah blood, seven things are passed over it to check it, these four among them. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.]
