Talmud for Ketubot 6:7

הַמַּשְׁלִישׁ מָעוֹת לְבִתּוֹ, וְהִיא אוֹמֶרֶת נֶאֱמָן בַּעְלִי עָלָי, יַעֲשֶׂה הַשָּׁלִישׁ מַה שֶׁהֻשְׁלַשׁ בְּיָדוֹ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, וְכִי אֵינָהּ אֶלָּא שָׂדֶה וְהִיא רוֹצָה לְמָכְרָהּ, הֲרֵי הִיא מְכוּרָה מֵעַכְשָׁיו. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בִּגְדוֹלָה. אֲבָל בִּקְטַנָּה, אֵין מַעֲשֵׂה קְטַנָּה כְלוּם:

If one deposits money for his daughter [If he deposits money with a third party for is daughter's needs, to buy her a field or dowry when she marries], and she says: "I trust my husband" [i.e., Give the money to him], the third party does as he was instructed. [He buys the field, and she is not heeded, for it is a mitzvah to fulfill the behest of one who has died.] These are the words of R. Meir. R. Yossi says: Is it not only a field? If she wished to sell it, she could sell it now. [That is, even if the field had already been bought and she wished to sell it, she could do so. Therefore, we heed her.] When is this so, when she is of age; but if she were a minor, the act of a minor is of no import. [R. Yossi and R. Meir differ only vis-à-vis one who is of age, during betrothal. For after she has been wed, all agree that she is heeded. And in respect to a minor, too, R. Yossi agrees that the act of a minor is of no import and she is not heeded. The halachah is in accordance with R. Meir.]

Jerusalem Talmud Orlah

89Partial parallels are in Ketubot 6:6 and Avodah Zarah 5:12. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan, Rebbi Assi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Mixed firstling wool becomes insignificant in a plurality90The Mishnah decrees that minute quantities make forbidden only after the wool is processed.. Rebbi Ḥiyya the Sepphorean91He appears only here. brought before Rebbi Ammi a pound in eight92One pound of firstling wool mixed with eight pounds of profane wool. but the latter refused to rule since had not Rebbi Assi93While he reports the opinion of R. Joḥanan, he personally objects to it and holds that processed and unprocessed wool follow the same rules. said, is that not a Mishnah? “If somebody weaves the length of a sîṭ of firstling’s wool in a cloth, the cloth must be burned”? He said to him, if you had objected there it would have been correct94When the question was asked (Avodah Zarah 5:12) whether unprocessed forbidden materials could be made insignificant in permitted ones. Since in the meantime it was ruled that processing does not make any difference, you (R. Ḥiyya the Sepphorean) cannot object now..
