Talmud for Eruvin 1:6

לְחָיַיִן שֶׁאָמְרוּ, גָּבְהָן עֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, וְרָחְבָּן וְעָבְיָן כָּל שֶׁהוּא. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, רָחְבָּן שְׁלֹשָׁה טְפָחִים:

The aforementioned lechis (1:2) [The lechis concerning which R. Eliezer and the sages differ, R. Eliezer requiring two and the rabbis one — these are their specifications:] They must be ten tefachim high, [as the height of the mavui, whose height is not less than ten tefachim. And even if the mavui were much higher, a lechi of ten tefachim suffices], and any size in breadth and thickness. R. Yossi says: They must be three tefachim wide, [something substantial being required as a partition. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yossi.]
