Daf 56a
[takes the two half-figs] in one state of unawareness into the same public place, he is penalised, but if into two different public places, he is not penalised. This too, said Rabbah, is only the case if there is between the two public places a place the carrying into which [from either of them would] render him liable to a sin offering, but not if there is only a karmelith in between. Abaye said: Even if there is a karmelith between [he is not penalised], but not if there is. only a block [of wood]. Raba said: Even if there is a block of wood between [he is not penalised]. Raba's view here [that such a block can form a partition] conforms with his other view that a 'place' in respect of Sabbath has the same meaning as a 'place' in respect of divorces. If there is no boundary nor cistus hedge [in the plain], what is the ruling? — R. Merinus explained in his [R. Eliezer's] name that 'all to which his name is applied [is reckoned as one field].' How are we to understand this? — R. Papa said: If for instance people call it, 'The field of so-and-so's well.' As R. 'Aha b. Awia was once sitting in front of R. Assi, he laid down the following rule in the name of R. Assi b. Hanina: A cistus hedge forms a partition in the estate of a proselyte. What is a cistus hedge? — Rab Judah said in the name of Rab: The plant with which Joshua marked the boundaries of the land of Canaan for the Israelites. Rab Judah also said in the name of Rab: Joshua [in his book] enumerated only the towns on the borders. Rab Judah said in the name of Samuel: All the land which God showed Moses is subject to [the obligation], of tithe. Which part of the land does this exclude? — It excludes the Kenite, the Kenizite and the Kadmonite. It has been taught: R. Meir says that [these are] the Nabateans, the Arabians and the Salmoeans. R. Eliezer says they are Mount Seir, Ammon and Moab. R. Simeon says they are Ardiskis, Asia and Aspamia. MISHNAH. IF TWO MEN TESTIFY THAT A CERTAIN MAN HAD THE USUFRUCT OF A PIECE OF LAND FOR THREE YEARS AND THEY ARE FOUND TO BE ZOMEMIM, THEY MUST PAY TO THE CLAIMANT ALL [THAT HE STOOD TO LOSE THROUGH THEIR FALSE EVIDENCE]. IF TWO [TESTIFY THAT THE OCCUPIER HAD THE USUFRUCT] FOR ONE YEAR, TWO FOR A SECOND YEAR, AND TWO FOR THE THIRD YEAR, [AND THEY ARE FOUND TO BE ZOMEMIM],
