Original text
<b>שלא לקרות כנגד מי רגלים. ובו ב סעיפים:</b><br>אסור לקרות כנגד מי רגלים עד שיטיל לתוכן רביעית מים ואז מותר ולא שנא על גבי קרקע לא שנא בכלי ובלבד שלא יהא עביט המיוחד להם [ודין עביט ע"ל סימן פ"ז] לא שנא היו הם בכלי תחל' וניתן עליהם מים לא שנא המים בכלי תחל':
Not to Recite [the Recitation of the Shema] Opposite Urine - Containing 2 Se'ifim It is forbidden to recite opposite urine until one has poured a revi-it of water into it, and then it is permitted. And it makes no difference whether it is on the surface of the ground or in a vessel - as long as it is not in a special chamber pot that's designated for it [And for the law of the chamber pot see below Siman 87]. It makes no difference whether it was in a vessel first and water was poured into it or the water is in the vessel first.
רביעית שאמרו למי רגלים של פעם א' ולשל שני פעמים שני רביעיות ולשל שלש שלשה: הגה וכן לעולם:
A revi-it [of water], that they said [is required to be poured onto urine in order to render it permissible to pray in front of] is for one urination, and for two times (ie. two urinations), two revi-i-ot [are required], and for three [urinations], three [revi'ot are required] Rem"a: And so on and so on .
