מאתים זוז. קים להו לרבנן שאלו מספיקים לשנה אחת לכסות ולמזונות:
או לכתובת אשתו. ואפילו היא יושבת תחתיו:
ואת כלי תשמישו. כלים יפים שמשתמש בהם בשבתות וברגלים. והני מילי כשבא ליטול לקט שכחה ופאה ואינו נוטל מקופה של צדקה שמתפרנס בצנעה ואינו נוטל ממה שביד גבאי, אבל אם נוטל מקופה של צדקה אז אין מניחין אותו ליטול אפילו לקט שכחה ופאה עד שימכור כלי תשמישו:

סְלִיק מַסֶּכֶת פֵּאָה
Bartenura
מי שיש לו חמשים זוז וכו' – for fifty [zuz] for good service is like two-hundred for one who does not work.
וכל מי שצריך ליטול ואינו נוטל וכו' – such as case where he pushes himself in his work and suffices with the work of his hands in order that he doesn’t have to be supported from others, but if the work of his hands is not sufficient for him and he afflicts himself in a life of pain that near death, on this they said, that whomever needs to take and does not take, he is like one who sheds blood and it is forbidden to have mercy upon him, for he does not have consideration for his own soul, how much more so upon the souls of others.
מי שיש לו חמשים זוז וכו׳ דחמשין דעבדין טבין כמאתים דלא עבדין:
וכל מי שצריך ליטול ואינו נוטל וכו׳ כגון שדוחק עצמו במלאכה ומסתפק במעשה ידיו כדי שלא יתפרנס מאחרים. אבל אם אין מעשה ידיו מספיקין לו ומסגף עצמו בחיי צער קרובין למיתה על זה אמרו כל הצריך ליטול ואינו נוטל הרי זה שופך דמים ואסור לרחם עליו על נפשיה לא חייס כל שכן על אחרים:
