Quotation for Niddah 1:3

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַרְבַּע נָשִׁים דַּיָּן שְׁעָתָן, בְּתוּלָה, מְעֻבֶּרֶת, מֵנִיקָה וּזְקֵנָה. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ, אֲנִי לֹא שָׁמַעְתִּי אֶלָּא בְתוּלָה, אֲבָל הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר:

Rabbi Eliezer says: There are four [types of] women whose hour [of discovering blood] suffices [to reckon their impurity from that moment]: a virgin, a pregnant woman, a nursing woman, and an elderly woman. Rabbi Yehoshua said: I only heard [this law] regarding a virgin, but the law is in accordance with Rabbi Eliezer.
