בַּכֹּל מְעָרְבִין וּמִשְׁתַּתְּפִין, חוּץ מִן הַמַּיִם וּמִן הַמֶּלַח, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, כִּכָּר הוּא עֵרוּב. אֲפִלּוּ מַאֲפֵה סְאָה וְהִיא פְרוּסָה, אֵין מְעָרְבִין בָּהּ. כִּכָּר בְּאִסָּר וְהוּא שָׁלֵם, מְעָרְבִין בּוֹ:

An eruv and a partnership (in a mavui) is made with all (foods), except with water and salt. [("An eruv":) We are speaking here of eruvin of tchumin (Sabbath bounds); for eruvin of chatzeroth (courtyards) are made only with bread.] These are the words of R. Eliezer. R. Yehoshua says: A loaf is an eruv. [R. Eliezer, in "all (foods)" includes eruvei chatzeroth, permitting a piece of bread and not requiring an entire loaf; and R. Yehoshua differs with him, saying that only an entire loaf is an eruv. The halachah is in accordance with R. Yehoshua.] (R. Yehoshua says:) It is forbidden to make an eruv with a baked piece (of bread) even if it contains a sa'ah (of flour) [The reason: animosity, the possibility that this will arouse contention among the men of the courtyard, viz.: "I gave a whole loaf and he gave only a piece!"]; it is permitted to make an eruv with a whole loaf (even) if it is (only) the size of an issar. [It is placed as an eruv together with the other loaves of the men of the courtyard, so long as there be among all of them the size of a dried fig for each one. Rambam explains that a whole loaf the size of an issar (a certain coin) may be used as an eruv by itself for all the men of the courtyard, irrespective of the amount.]
