M.VII. 3 (2). Women, and slaves, and little children, 4 are not invited [to say the Benediction]. What is the least account of food which qualifies for the invitation? Not less than the size of an olive. R. Judah says not less than the size of an egg.
T.
13. One who is of double sex sets one like himself free [from his obligation], but no one else; one who is of uncertain sex sets neither free.

18. A child who can eat anything about the size of an olive we include in the invitation to say the Benediction, but him who cannot eat anything about the size of an olive we do not. We do not insist on preciseness with a child, whether he says, "Let us bless," or says, "Blessed be He." We do not take him up for this, but the precisians do take him up for this.
20. Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel says: If they have gone upstairs, and have reclined at meat, and he dips his hands (in the dish) with them, although he has not eaten with them [any] corn as much as an olive, behold these invite him. 2

61:1 they say. i.e. This is the Rule.
61:2 these invite him, viz., to say the Benediction after the meal.
61:3 R. Mona. His usual name, as it seems, is Mana. Evidently a mishna-teacher of the fourth generation, c. 160-200 A.D.
61:4 The first water . . . the latter. These become technical expressions for the ceremonial washing before and after meals, and p. 62 occur in the proverb: "[The neglect of] the first water makes one eat pork [for the host thinks one a Gentile], and [the neglect of ] the latter water commits murder," i.e. one duty neglected brings about the commission of a serious, but relatively small, sin, a second the commission of a great one.
