X, 17ᶜ (corrected text) שטר נפיק מר׳ חונה לר׳ שמיי אוגדויי מחיק קונטא לא מחיק. א"ר שמיי לר׳ חונה פוק חזי עם ההן אהן קונטא משמש. ומר עם טרייאקונטא. כי נפק אמר הדא בעי מתגרא תלתין אפסד עשרין. A bill of indebtedness passed from R. Ḥuna (who could not decide or on whose decision the party would not rely) to R. Sh.—on which bill ogdoë was blurred (showing an erasure), and conta was clear. Said R. Sh. to R. Ḥ., Go and see what is the lowest numeral in Greek that conta is combined with. Said he, It is triaconta (thirty).—When the party had left, he said, That man intended to make thirty (by the erasure) and lost twenty (the original having been fifty, penteconta).
