Translation:

The conclusion of Sotah in the Yerushalmi is: “It happened that the elders entered the loft of Bais Gediyah in Yericho, and a Heavenly Voice proclaimed that ‘there are two among you who are worthy of the Divine Spirit, and Hillel the Elder is one of them.’ Those present speculated [that the other was] Shmuel Hakaton (the Small).
