Комментарий к Бава Батра 5:11

אָמַר רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בַּלַּח. אֲבָל בַּיָּבֵשׁ, אֵינוֹ צָרִיךְ. וְחַיָּב לְהַכְרִיעַ לוֹ טֶפַח. הָיָה שׁוֹקֵל לוֹ עַיִן בְּעַיִן, נוֹתֵן לוֹ גֵרוּמָיו, אֶחָד לַעֲשָׂרָה בַּלַּח וְאֶחָד לְעֶשְׂרִים בַּיָּבֵשׁ. מְקוֹם שֶׁנָּהֲגוּ לָמֹד בַּדַּקָּה, לֹא יָמֹד בַּגַּסָּה. בַּגַּסָּה, לֹא יָמֹד בַּדַּקָּה. לִמְחֹק, לֹא יִגְדֹּשׁ. לִגְדֹּשׁ, לֹא יִמְחֹק:

Р. Шимон б. Гамлиэль сказал: Когда это (выше) так? С мокрыми предметами. Но с сухим это не обязательно. И он (продавец) должен понизить (баланс) для него (покупателя) ширину руки [для веса литра или больше, но не для меньшего.] Если он точно взвешивает, он дает ему должный излишек, [ одна десятая литра на каждые десять литров, что составляет от одного до десяти [то есть один на сто] в мокром измерении и от одного до двадцати [то есть половина десятого на каждые двадцать литра] в сухом измерении. В тех случаях, когда обычай состоит в том, чтобы использовать малую меру, нельзя использовать большую меру, [тем самым покупатель проигрывает, получая только один «излишек», если он должен был получить много]; (где это принято) использовать большую меру, нельзя использовать малую меру. Чтобы отбросить [какие проекты выше баланса], можно не нагромождать, [даже за больше денег]; в кучу, никто не может отбить, [даже за меньшие деньги.]

Bartenura on Mishnah Bava Batra

וחייב להכריע טפח – from the weight a liter and beyond, but less than a liter, he doesn’t need the customary additional weight in retail of a handbreadth (see Tractate Bava Batra 89a).

English Explanation of Mishnah Bava Batra

Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel said: “When is this so (that one needs to clean out? With regards to liquid measures, but with regards to dry measures it is not necessary.
[And a shopkeeper] must let the scales sink down a handbreadth [to the buyer’s advantage]. If he gave him an exact measure, he must give him his overweight, a tenth for liquid measures and a twentieth for dry measures.
Where the custom is to measure with small measures they should not measure with large measures and where the custom is to measure with large measures they should not measure with small measures.
Where the custom is to smooth down [what is in the measure] they should not heap it up, and [where the custom is] to heap it up, they should not smooth it down.

Mishnah eleven continues to deal with the weighing of produce.
Section one: Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel qualifies the statements in the previous mishnah regarding cleaning out measures. These statements applied to measuring liquids, but measures used for dry goods need not be cleaned out with regular frequency, since the dry goods do not stick to the sides.
Section two: The custom was to let the buyer’s side of the scale, which contained the goods, sink one handbreadth lower than the seller’s side. If, however, one did not follow this custom, then the shopkeeper would be obligated to give the buyer either a tenth or a twentieth more than he purchased, depending on the nature of the produce.
Sections three and four: The last two sections teach that one must follow the customs that are typical in one’s place. This is true with regards to the size of the weights as well as the smoothing out or heaping up of the dry goods in the measuring cup. As long as people are consistent in their customs, buyers and sellers will know what they are doing and one will not cheat each other.
