MISHNAH: If a wall between two courtyards is ten [hand-breadths] high and four wide, one makes two eruvin and cannot make one eruv. If produce was lying on top of it, both partiess may climb up and eat them; only they may not take them down. If a wall was torn down up to ten cubits, one makes two eruvin but if they wish they make one eruv. More than this, one makes one eruv but may not make two.

HALAKHAH: Paragraph. “If a wall between two courtyards,” etc. Why does it have to be four [hand-breadths] wide? Even if it is not four [hand-breadths] wide? Because of what is stated later: “both sides may climb up and eat them.” If it is not four [hand-breadths] wide, Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav: it is forbidden for both sides. Rebbi Ze`ira in the name of Rav: it is permitted for both sides. The argument of Rebbi Abba seems inverted. There Rebbi Abba said, Rav Jehudah in the name of Samuel: If he threw it and it came to rest on top of a partition he is liable. And here, he says so? There one considers it as if filled with dust and pebbles. Here, what do you have? You should know this since Rebbi Aḥa, Rebbi Ḥinena said in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Ledges and walls high ten [hand-breadths] and wide four are permitted for both sides, on condition that he may not exchange. Rebbi Joḥanan asked. The argument of Rebbi Abba seems inverted. There Rebbi Abba said, Rav Jehudah in the name of Samuel: If he threw it and it came to rest on top of a partition he is liable. And here, he says so? You are saying there, one considers it as if filled with dust and pebbles; here it is the same.

We heard about partitions in a private domain, we heard about partitions in a public domain. Rebbi Abba, Rav Jehudah in the name of Samuel: If a wall is surrounded by ladders on both sides, one makes two eruvin and may not make one eruv. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Bun said, since they are not at the same place, are they like doors?

It was stated: The raising of a ramp is one cubit when he progresses three except for the ramp of the altar which collects ten hand-breadths for three and one third fingers, since the altar was ten cubits [high] and its ramp thirty-two.

If one made a bench along the entire wall which is four hand-breadths wide one makes two eruvin and may not make one; with four cubits one makes one eruv and may not make two.

That is if it is large but if it is small by most of it. What is large and what is small? Any where most of it is at least ten, by ten; therefore less than ten by most of it. That is meant in the middle, but not from the side. What is on the side and what is in the middle? If what is standing is four [hand-breadths] it is in the middle, otherwise it is on the side.
