סְרֵידָה שֶׁהִיא נְתוּנָה עַל פִּי הַתַּנּוּר מֻקָּף צָמִיד פָּתִיל, נִסְדַּק מִן הַתַּנּוּר לַסְּרֵידָה, שִׁעוּרוֹ מְלֹא פִי מַרְדֵּעַ שֶׁלֹּא נִכְנָס. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, נִכְנָס. נִסְדְּקָה סְרֵידָה, שִׁעוּרוֹ כִמְלֹא פִי מַרְדֵּע נִכְנָס. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שֶׁלֹּא נִכְנָס. הָיָה עָגֹל, אֵין רוֹאִין אוֹתוֹ אָרֹךְ, אֶלָּא שִׁעוּרוֹ כִמְלֹא פִי מַרְדֵּעַ נִכְנָס:

If netting was placed over the mouth of an oven, forming a tightly fitting lid, and a split appeared between the oven and the netting, the minimum size [to allow impurity to enter] is that of the circumference of the tip of an ox goad that cannot actually enter it. Rabbi Yehudah says: [Even if it] can enter. If the netting was split, the minimum size is the circumference of the tip of an ox goad that can enter it. Rabbi Yehudah says: [Even if it] cannot enter. If the split was round they do not regard it as straight, and still the minimum size must be the circumference of the tip of an ox goad that can actually enter.
