A poster on Areivim asked why the flask of oil of the neis of chanukah is referred to as a kad katan, being that the volume of 3.5 log that was necessary to fill the 7 lamps of the menorah each night is approximately equal to 1.5 L, hardly a small k'li.<br>
<br>I don't understand the basis for this question, as Shabbos 21b (as well as Meg. Ta'anis) merely refers to it as a "pach", with no adjective attached to it.<br><br>Is there an alternative source on the matter?<br>
