MISHNAH: If the ground floor and the upper floor belonging to two different persons collapse, they divide wood, stones, and dust between themselves. One takes into consideration which stones were at risk to break. If one of them recognized his stones, he takes them, and they are debited to his account.

HALAKHAH: “If the ground floor and the upper floor belonging to two different persons collapse,” etc. It was stated: If they were blackened like an oven, the upper ones were apt to break. If they fell to the outside, the lower ones were apt to break.

“If one of them recognized his stones, he takes them, and they are debited to his account.” Rebbi Hoshaia said, this means that the hand rules on one side. There, we have stated: “A hundred ṭevel in a hundred profane, he removes 101. A hundred ṭevel in a hundred tithe, he removes 101.” Rebbi Yose said, if you say that he takes 100, I would say that only profane came to his hand and the other remains ṭevel. So he takes 101 in order to separate heave and heave of the tithe from the ṭevel.

Those bearing columns. Rebbi Ze‘ira: He tells the bottom dweller, you are obliged to support me. Rebbi La: He tells the dweller in the upper floor, the builders say that both have to build the foundations. The following supports the builders: “If his ruined building was close to the wall of his neighbor’s courtyard, he should not tell him: I am contributing to the foundations of your wall where it comes up, but he has to contribute to the foundations from the bottom and up. If it was built on top of ditches or caves, he is not obligated for anything.” Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, explain it, for example those inhabitants of Bet Shean where the bottom dweller cannot build unless the builder of the upper floor builds.
