MISHNAH: The round fig cake when he smoothes it. One may smoothe ṭevel figs and grapes, Rebbi Jehudah forbids it. If one smoothes grapes they are not prepared; Rebbi Jehudah says, they are prepared. Dried figs when he presses them and in a bin if he planes with a roller. If, while he presses in an amphora or planes in a bin, the amphora broke or the bin collapsed, he may not eat from the contents as a snack, but Rebbi Yose permits it.

HALAKHAH: Ḥananiah the son of Rebbi Yasa said, where do Rebbi Jehudah and the rabbis disagree? If it is ṭevel by their words. But for ṭevel by biblical decree, the rabbis also will agree.

Rebbi Mana said it without attribution, Rebbi Abun [said it] in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Rebbi Jehudah stays with his opinion, the rabbis stay with their opinion, as we have stated: “Olives which somebody crushed with impure hands are not prepared, to let them soak up salt they are prepared, to know whether they contain sap they are not prepared; Rebbi Jehudah says they are prepared.” The rabbis say, he checks their sap. Rebbi Jehudah says, he checks their body. Here, the rabbis say he polishes with their sap, Rebbi Jehudah says, he polishes with what he has.

Rebbi said to his son Rebbi Simeon, climb up and bring us dried figs from the barrel. He said to him, is it not forbidden because of muqzeh? He retorted, are you still holding that? Nothing but figs and grapes can be forbidden because of muqzeh! Rebbi Samuel bar Sisarta: Because they stink in between. Rebbi Zeїra asked before Rebbi Assi: Is it not reasonable to hold that the case involved split dates? He said to him, that is my opinion also. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun, Rebbi Isaac bar Bisna in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: The case involved split dates.

“He said to him, nothing but figs can be forbidden because of muqzeh!” Rebbi Jacob bar Zavdi in the name of Rebbi Abbahu: that is, concerning the Sabbath. But concerning tithes, everything may pass through a stage of muqzeh. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah said so: “Dried figs when he presses them and in a bin if he planes with a roller.”

Rebbi Joḥanan said: The words of the first teacher imply that neither does the bottom need the top nor the top the bottom. The words of the last teacher, [the bottom] needs the top but not the top the bottom. Rebbi Eleazar said, that is Rebbi Meїr’s. He said to him, that you should not think to say it is an anonymous opinion and, against Rebbi Yose, practice follows the anonymous opinion. Therefore, one needs to say that this is Rebbi Meїr’s and between Rebbi Meїr and Rebbi Yose practice follows Rebbi Yose.
