Ketubot 112A

והויא כמבי מיכסי עד אקרא דתולבנקי, עשרין ותרתין פרסי אורכא ופותיא שיתא פרסי.

and it was the same in area as that which stretches from the city of Bei Mikhsei until the fortress of Tulbanki: Its length 22 parasangs and its width 6 parasangs, 132 square parasangs, which is 2,112 square mil.

רבי חלבו ורבי עוירא ורבי יוסי בר חנינא איקלעו לההוא אתרא. אייתו קמייהו אפרסקא דהוה כאילפס כפר הינו. ואילפס כפר הינו כמה הוי ⁠— חמש סאין. אכלו שליש, והפקירו שליש, ונתנו לפני בהמתן שליש.

§ The Talmud relates that R' Ḥelbo, R' Avira, and R' Yosei bar Ḥanina happened to come on one occasion to a certain place. The locals brought before these rabbis a peach [afarseka] that was as large as a stewpot [ilpas] of Kefar Hino. The Talmud asks: And how big is a stewpot of Kefar Hino? The Talmud answers: It has a capacity of 5 se’a. They ate 1/3rd of it, they declared ownerless 1/3rd of it, and they placed before their animals 1/3rd of it.

לשנה איקלע רבי אלעזר להתם ואייתו לקמיה (נקטו) [נקטיה] בידיה, ואמר: ״ארץ פרי למלחה מרעת יושבי בה״.

In the following year, R' Elazar happened to come to that same place, and they brought a peach before him. He held it in his hand, as the peach was small enough for him to grasp in one hand, and He said: in reference to the change in size of the fruit from the previous year: “A fruitful land into a salt waste, from the wickedness of they who reside there” (Psalms 107:34), i.e., their sins caused the drastic change in the yield of the produce.

רבי יהושע בן לוי איקלע לגבלא, חזנהו להנהו קטופי דהוו קיימי כי עיגלי, אמר: עגלים בין הגפנים? אמרו ליה: קטופי נינהו. אמר: ארץ ארץ, הכניסי פירותייך, למי את מוציאה פירותייך, לגוים הללו שעמדו עלינו בחטאתינו?

§ Once R' Yehoshua ben Levi happened to come to Gavla, in the Golan, and he saw those clusters of vines that were standing as large as calves. He said to the locals: Calves are standing between the grapevines and you are not concerned that they will cause damage? They said to him: They are clusters. R' Yehoshua ben Levi said: O earth, O earth! Gather in your fruit. For whom do you produce your fruit? For these non-Jews who stand over us in our sins? It would be preferable if you did not produce such large fruit.
