(יט) מד' גודלים - ומדידת הגודל בכל מקום הוא של אדם בינוני. ומודדין אותו בפרק העליון במקום הרחב באמצעו [ועיין בשע"ת] ועיין במ"א ובש"ך רע"ב שהביאו בשם הרמב"ם דשיעור גודל הוא כרוחב ז' שעורות זו בצד זו בדוחק והן באורך ב' שעורות בריוח
English Translation
Four thumb-widths - And the measurement of a thumb-breadth is always that of an average person. And we measure it from the top joint [of the thumb] at the place where it's thickest in the middle [see in Shaarei Teshuva]. And see in Magen Avraham [here], and in the Sha"ch in Siman 272 (Yoreh Deah), who bring in the name of the Rambam, that the measurement of a thumb-width is like the width of 7 barley kernels, one next to the other [when they are placed] tightly [next to each other], which is [the same as] the height of two barley kernels [placed end to end] with [a bit of] space [in between].
