MISHNAH: If a tree overhangs another’s field, he may cut it in the height of the plough’s ox-goad; carob tree and sycamore along the plumb line. Over an irrigated field along the plumb line. Abba Shaul says, every non-fruit-bearing tree along the plumb line. If a tree overhangs the public domain, one has to cut it so that a camel with a rider on it may pass; Rebbi Jehudah says, loaded with flax or bundles of vine cuttings. Rebbi Simeon says, any tree [must be cut] along the plumb line because of impurity.

HALAKHAH: “If a tree overhangs another’s field,” etc. “If a tree overhangs the public domain,,” etc. Rebbi Jonathan was careful in judging; there was a Roman there who was his neighbor both in the field and the house. Rebbi Jonathan had a tree overhanging the Roman’s property. A similar case came before him. He told them, go and return next morning. This Roman said, because of me he did not decide the case. Tomorrow I will abandon my work and see how the judgment goes. If he judges all people and does not judge himself, he is not human. At nightfall, Rebbi Jonathan sent for his carpenter and told him, go and cut everything that overhangs the Roman’s. In the morning, the parties appeared before him. He told him, go and cut what overhangs into his property. The Roman said to him, what is with yours? He told him, go and see; what was done with mine do with yours. He went out and looked. He said, praised be the Jews’ God.

A woman honored Rebbi Jonathan with figs. He told her, please if you brought them covered, take them away covered; but if you brought them in the open, take them away in the open, so that people should not say that she brought him denars and he honored her with figs.

Rebbi Ḥanina brought Rebbi Jonathan to his garden and served him figs. When he left, he saw one tree of white benot ševa‘. He asked him, why did you not let me eat from these? He told him, they are my son’s. Rebbi Ḥanina was afraid of robbing his son.
