MISHNAH: The people of a large town walk through all of a small town; the people of a small town walk through all of a large town. How is that? If somebody lived in a large town and put his eruv in a small town, or in a small town and put his eruv in a large town, he walks through all of it and outside of it 2’000 cubits. But Rebbi Aqiba says, he only has 2’000 cubits from the place of his eruv.

HALAKHAH: Paragraph. “The people of a large town walk through all of a small town,” etc. So is the Mishnah: “The people of a large town walk through all of a small town, the people of a small town do not walk through all of a large town. How is that?” There is no “how is that”.

Is a city counted in the measure of 2’000? Rebbi Ḥizqiah said, Rebbi Simon in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: A city is not counted in the measure of 2’000. Rebbi Eleazar said, a city is counted in the measure of 2’000. In earlier times the people of Tiberias were walking through all its hot springs but the people of its hot springs came only to the cupola. But today for the people of Tiberias and the people of its hot springs it is one city. Rebbi Jeremiah said, “it happened that an old shepherd came and said before Rebbi, I remember the people of Magdala walking up to its hot springs, walking through its hot springs and coming up to the outer courtyard close to the bridge; and Rebbi permitted that the people of Magdala walk up to its hot springs, walking through its hot springs and come up to the outer courtyard up to the bridge. In addition, Rebbi permitted that the people of Gadara descend to their hot springs and return to Gadara but the people of the hot springs may not ascend to Gadara.” Rebbi Mana said, because of the authorities. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, it is not because of this but because we have stated “the people of a large town walk through all of a small town, the people of a small town do not walk through all of a large town.”

Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Ḥanina: Where do they disagree? If they put their eruv in a public square. But if they put their eruv in houses even Rebbi Aqiba will agree. Rebbi Abba the son of Rebbi Pappai asked: If it was a city which made an eruv and he put his eruv in a public square, is it not as if they gave their eruv in houses?

A town which was destroyed. Rebbi Eleazar says, he walks its entirety and outside 2’000 cubits. Samuel says, he only has 2’000 cubits [from] the place of his eruv. Rebbi Abba bar Cahana, Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi in the name of Rab: If somebody deposits his eruv in a sheep-pen or a sheep-corral he walks its entirety and outside it 2’000 cubits. Are a sheep-pen or a sheep-corral not as if houses and apartments were destroyed?

For a new city one measures from the houses; for an old one one measures from the wall. What is new and what is old? Rebbi Zeˋira in the name of Rav Ḥasdai: If he built houses and afterwards built a wall, that is new; if he built a wall and then built the houses, that is old. Rebbi Zeˋira said, in both cases it is new, and what is old? Anything which had dwellings and they were destroyed. Rebbi Zeˋira follows his opinion, since they disagreed: If he built nine as fore-court and one for dwelling. Rebbi Eleazar said, even if he built the tenth as dwelling it is for dwelling.
