remove

<<thirty-

<<six

<<for the six,

<<remain

<<to him

<<twelve;

<<remove

<<eight

<<for the sixth,

<<remain

<<to him

<<four.

But didn't Shmuel say:

<<one who profits

<<should not

<<profit

<<more

<<than

<<a sixth!

There are

<<the barrels

<<and the sediment.

<<If so,

<<it is more

<<for him

<<by far

<<than a sixth?

<<There is

<<his trouble

<<and the fee of

<<the tapper.

If

<<it was

<<oil

<<that is refined,

<<he does not

<<deduct

<<for him

<<sediment

<<etc.

<<But

<<it is impossible

<<that it does not

<<absorb!

<<Rav Nachman said:

<<of pitch-lined ones

<<they taught.

<<Abaye

<<said:

<<even

<<say

<<not

<<of pitch-lined ones;

<<since

<<it is saturated,

<<it is saturated.

Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<even

<<one who sells

<<oil

<<that is refined

<<to his fellow

<<all

<<the days of

<<the year —

<<this one

<<accepts

<<upon himself

<<a log

<<and a half

<<of sediment

<<to a hundred.

<<Abaye said:

<<when you examine it,

<<according to the words of

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<it is permitted

<<to mix in

<<sediment;

<<according to the words of

<<the Sages

<<it is forbidden

<<to mix in

<<sediment.

According to the words of

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<it is permitted

<<to mix in

<<sediment,

<<and this is

<<the reason

<<that he accepts,

<<for he says

<<to him:

<<if

<<I wished

<<to mix it in

<<for you,

<<would

<<I not

<<have mixed it in

<<for you?

<<Now

<<too,

<<accept it.

And let him say

<<to him:

<<if

<<you had mixed

<<it in,

<<it would have

<<been sold

<<by me;

<<now,

<<what

<<shall I do

<<with it?

<<By itself

<<it is not

<<sold

<<by me!

<<With a householder

<<we are dealing,

<<who is pleased

<<with the clear.

<<And let him say

<<to him:

<<since you did not

<<mix it in

<<for me,

<<forgoing,

<<you forwent it

<<for me!

Rabbi Yehuda

<<follows his reasoning,

<<for he does not hold of

<<forgoing,

<<as we learned:

<<if he sold

<<him

<<the yoke,

<<he did not

<<sell

<<him

<<the oxen;

<<if he sold

<<him

<<the oxen,

<<he did not

<<sell

<<him

<<the yoke.

Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<the price

<<makes it known.

<<How so?

<<If he said

<<to him:

<<sell

<<me

<<your yoke

<<for two hundred

<<zuz —

<<the matter

<<is known

<<that not

<<a yoke

<<is for two hundred

<<zuz.

<<And the Sages

<<say:

<<is not

<<the price

<<a proof.

According to the words of

<<the Sages

<<it is forbidden

<<to mix in

<<sediment,

<<and this is

<<the reason

<<that he does not

<<accept,

<<for he says

<<to him:

<<if

<<you had wished

<<to mix it in,

<<would

<<it have been

<<permitted

<<to you?

<<Now

<<too,

<<I do not

<<accept.

Rav Pappa said to Abaye:

<<on the contrary,

<<the reverse

<<stands to reason!

<<According to the words of

<<the Sages

<<it is permitted

<<to mix in

<<sediment,

<<and this is

<<the reason

<<that he does not

<<accept,

<<for he says

<<to him:

<<since you did not

<<mix it in

<<for me,

<<forgoing,

<<you forwent it

<<for me.

<<According to the words of

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<it is forbidden

<<to mix in

<<sediment,

<<and this is

<<the reason

<<that he accepts,

<<for he says

<<to him:

<<if

<<I wished

<<to mix it in,

<<it is not

<<permitted

<<to me

<<to mix it in

<<for you;

<<and accept

<<you do not

<<accept?

<<“Buy

<<and sell —

<<a merchant

<<is he called”?

It was taught:

<<both

<<the buyer

<<and

<<the depositor —

<<for the dregs.

<<What is

<<“for the dregs”?

<<If we say:

<<just as

<<the buyer

<<does not

<<accept

<<dregs,

<<the depositor

<<too

<<does not

<<accept

<<dregs —

<<let him say

<<to him:

<<your dregs —

<<what

<<shall I do

<<with them?

Rather:

<<just as

<<the depositor

<<accepts

<<dregs,

<<the buyer

<<too

<<accepts

<<dregs.

<<And does

<<accept

<<the buyer

<<dregs?

<<But was it not taught:

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<they did not

<<say

<<oil

<<that is murky

<<except

<<to the seller

<<alone,

<<for indeed

<<the buyer

<<accepts

<<upon himself

<<a log

<<and a half

<<of sediment

<<without

<<dregs.

It is not

<<difficult:

<<this —

<<where he gives

<<him

<<money

<<in Tishrei

<<and takes

<<from him

<<in Nisan

<<at

<<the measure

<<of Tishrei;

<<that —

<<where he gives

<<him

<<money

<<in Nisan

<<and takes

<<from him

<<in Nisan

<<at

<<the measure

<<of Nisan.

MISHNAH:

<<One who deposits

<<a barrel

<<with

<<his fellow

<<and did not

<<designate

<<for it

<<the owner

<<a place,

<<and he moved it

<<and it broke —

<<if

<<from within

<<his hand

<<it broke:

<<for his need,

<<he is liable;

<<for its need,

<<he is exempt.

<<If

<<after he set it down

<<it broke,

<<whether

<<for his need

<<or

<<for its need,

<<he is exempt.

<<If designated

<<for it

<<the owner

<<a place,

<<and he moved it

<<and it broke,

<<whether

<<from within

<<his hand

<<or

<<after he set it down:

<<for his need,

<<he is liable;

<<for its need,

<<he is exempt.

GEMARA:

<<This —

<<whose is it?

<<Rabbi Yishmael

<<it is,

<<who said:

<<we do not

<<require

<<the knowledge of

<<the owner.

<<As it was taught:

<<one who steals

<<a lamb

<<from

<<the flock

<<or a sela

<<from

<<the purse —

<<to the place

<<from which he stole

<<he shall return it;

<<the words of

<<Rabbi Yishmael.

<<Rabbi Akiva

<<says:
