נָתַן עָלָיו נֶסֶר שֶׁהוּא רָחָב אַרְבָּעָה טְפָחִים, וְכֵן שְׁתֵּי גְזֻזְטְרָאוֹת זוֹ כְנֶגֶד זוֹ, מְעָרְבִין שְׁנַיִם, וְאִם רָצוּ, מְעָרְבִין אֶחָד. פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן, מְעָרְבִין שְׁנַיִם וְאֵין מְעָרְבִין אֶחָד:

If he placed a four-handbreadth board over it [from edge to edge, like a bridge, it is considered an entrance]; similarly, two balconies [projecting from the private to the public domain], one opposite the other, [and he placed a four-handbreadth board from one to the other, it is also considered an entrance] — two eruvin are made. And if they wish, they make one eruv. Less than that [i.e., If the board is not four handbreadths wide, one is afraid to cross over on it, so that it is not readily used] — two eruvin are made and not one.
