וּבְזוֹ רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר מֵקֵל, וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ מַחְמִיר. בְּדוֹרֵס לִיטְרָא קְצִיעוֹת עַל פִּי הַכַּד וְאֵינוֹ יוֹדֵעַ אֵיזוֹהִי, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, רוֹאִין אוֹתָן כְּאִלּוּ הֵן פְּרוּדוֹת, וְהַתַּחְתּוֹנוֹת מַעֲלוֹת אֶת הָעֶלְיוֹנוֹת. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, לֹא תַעֲלֶה עַד שֶׁיִּהְיוּ שָׁם מֵאָה כַדִּים:

But in this [following case], Rabbi Eliezer is lenient and Rabbi Yehoshua stringent. If one was pressing a litra of cut figs [of <i>Terumah</i>] by a jar and he did not know which [jar was used]: Rabbi Eliezer says: they [the cut figs] are to be regarded as if they are separate, so that the lower [figs] can be counted together with the higher. Rabbi Yehoshua says: the <i>Terumah</i> cannot be removed unless there are a hundred jars there.
