Discourses II. 159 The name of this Title is Eruvin, in English Mixtures; and it treats of those Mixtures which are directed to be made upon the Eve of the Sabbath, by means of which several Families that inhabit in the same common Passages..may lawfully carry into each others Houses, such things as may lawfully be removed upon the Sabbath-Day. c1782D. Levi Succinct Acct. Rites, & Ceremonies, of Jews 288 Eyeruvin, i.e. mixtures or associations, this treats of the mixing for courts and entries, which are called associatious [sic]; because thereby all the inhabitants of the court, or entry where the mixture is made, are accounted as belonging to one family; and, are therefore allowed to carry victuals from one house to the other. It also treats of the mixtures of a Sabbatic journey. 1843de Sola & Raphall tr. Mishna xiii. ix. 92 R.
