לא יפחות מדינר זהב – and he that would state a gold coin. For if not, perhaps he states a piece of gold bar, that is a piece of gold.
נחושת לא יפחות ממעה כסף – that he should bring copper that is worth a Maah of silver (i.e., a Maah is a small silver coin worth thirty-two peruta or one-sixth of a dinar = the Biblical gerah).
פירשתי – such and such [an amount of] gold.
ואיני יודע כמה פירשתי – he should bring so much until that he would himself would know that he never intended for so much.
לא יפחות מדינר זהב. והוא שיאמר מטבע של זהב. דאי לא, דלמא נסכא דדהבא קאמר, דהיינו חתיכה של זהב:
נחושת לא יפחות ממעה כסף. שיביא נחושת ששוה מעה כסף:
פירשתי. כך וכך זהב:
ואיני יודע כמה פירשתי. יביא כל כך עד שידע בעצמו שמעולם לא נתכוין לכל כך:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
