Non si può accantonare Teruma per misura, per peso o per numero. Tuttavia, si può mettere da parte Terumah da ciò che è stato misurato, pesato o conteggiato. Non si può mettere da parte Terumah in un cestino o contenitore con una misura nota. Tuttavia, si può mettere da parte Terumah [riempiendoli] solo una metà o un terzo. Non si può mettere da parte Terumah in [un contenitore che contiene una] Seah [unità specifica di volume, riempiendola solo] metà, poiché metà di essa è una misura.
Tosefta Terumot
We do not take terumah from produce [that is harvested] before it is one-third ripe (cf. Hallah 1:3). How do you know if it is one-third ripe or if not? If it is planted and something has sprouted, it is known that it one-third ripe. If it is planted and something has not sprouted, it is known that it is not one-third ripe.

Tosefta Terumot
[If] he had a pile of winnowed [grain], and he wanted to designate [some of] it as terumah on behalf of [grain in] another place, he does it. He removes the terumah [and] if he [then] wanted to designate [some of the pile] as first tithe on behalf of [grain in] another place, he does it. He removes the first tithe, [and if] he wanted to designate [some of the pile] as second tithe on behalf of [grain in] another place, he does it. He removes the second tithe, [and if] he wanted to to designate [some of the pile] as poor person's tithe on behalf of [grain in] another place, he does it. And if he said, "Behold, [the grain that I pick up shall be terumah, etc.]," he takes terumah and he calculates -- if what he has picked up with his hands is [at least] one sixtieth [of the grain in the other place], his terumah is [valid] terumah, and if not, his terumah [is not] valid terumah. [If when] he took terumah, what he picked up with his hand was [at least] one-sixtieth, his terumah is [valid] terumah, except if he took terumah by measuring (see Ter. 1:7).

Tosefta Terumot
One who separates terumah and first tithe and second tithe, and does not know which is which, behold, he may measure the terumah, the first tithe, and the second tithe [in order to determine which pile is which (as a last resort, despite the general prohibition against measuring terumah, Ter. 1:7)].
