אכלו ואין בו כזית חייב. משום דבריה הוא, חייב בכל שהוא, כאוכל נמלה כל שהוא שחייב:
מזה כזית. מירך של ימין כזית, וכן מירך של שמאל:
אינו סופג אלא ארבעים. דסבר ר׳ יהודה אינו נוהג אלא בשל ימין, דדריש הירך המיומנת שבירך. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:

חולין פרק ז׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
כבשר בלפת – we view it as if the thigh is broken and the nerve is meat, and whereas if it provided a flavor in the meat like the size of the nerve–sinew, like turnips, [like the measurement of] the thigh, it is prohibited, for the measurement is a traditional law dating from Moses as delivered from Sinai, and we derive that in this we estimate, even though it if it were a cabbage or a leek with a head–porret, one would need less, or more, and that of our Mishnah would be superseded and is not the Halakha and we hold that there isn’t in the sinews–nerve for imparting a flavor, for whether it is cooked or whether it is salted or whether it is roasted, we cast it aside and it is permitted. But especially it, but its fat, it imparts a flavor and if he didn’t carry off the fat, it prohibits, and the imparting of a flavor that is mentioned with it must be of the same species, for a person cannot distinguish, we estimate it as one-sixtieth.
כבשר בלפת. רואין כאילו הירך לפתות והגיד בשר, ואילו היה נותן טעם בשר כשיעור הגיד, בלפתות [כשיעור] הירך, אסור. דשיעורים הלכה למשה מסיני, וגמירי דבהכי משערים, אף על פי שאילו היה כרוב או קפלוט היה צריך פחות או יותר. והא מתניתין אדחיא לה ואינה הלכה. דקיי״ל אין בגידין בנותן טעם, דבין נתבשל ובין נמלח ובין נצלה, משליכו ומותר. ודוקא בו, אבל שומנו יש בו בנותן טעם, ואם לא נטל שומנו אוסר. ונותן טעם האמור במין במינו שאין אדם יכול להבחינו, משערין אותו בששים:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. 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. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

אכלו ואין בו כזית חייב – because it is a living creature, he is liable for whatever the amount, like one who eats an ant of whatever the amount is liable.
מזה כזית – from the right thigh an olive’s bulk and similarly from the left thigh.
אינו סופג אלא ארבעים – for Rabbi Yehuda holds that this is not practiced other than with the right [thigh] for he expounds (Genesis 32:33): “[the socket] of the hip,” that means the strongest of the hips (i.e., the right” (see Talmud Hullin 91a). But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
