**מַתְנִי׳** ״בְּסִימָנָיו וּבִמְצָרָיו״; פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁתוּת – הִגִּיעוֹ, עַד שְׁתוּת – יְנַכֶּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** If one sells a field to another, telling him that he is selling him a field measuring a *beit kor*, **with its** particular **demarcations and borders** that the seller specifies for the buyer, the field’s measurement is not treated in as exacting a manner as in a standard sale. Therefore, if it later turns out that the field was not precisely a *beit kor*, but the difference is still **less than one-sixth,** the field **is** the buyer’s, and the sale is valid as is. But if the difference is greater, e.g., one-quarter or one-fifth, then, **until** it is calculated at **one-sixth,** the seller **must deduct** the difference from the purchase price and return money to the buyer.

**גְּמָ׳** אִיתְּמַר, רַב הוּנָא אָמַר: שְׁתוּת – כְּפָחוֹת מִשְּׁתוּת. רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר: שְׁתוּת – כְּיוֹתֵר מִשְּׁתוּת.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **It was stated** that the *amora’im* disagreed about the following issue: **Rav Huna says:** A difference that is precisely **one-sixth is like** one that is **less than one-sixth,** and the sale is valid. **Rav Yehuda says:** A difference that is precisely **one-sixth is like** one that is **more than one-sixth,** and the difference must be deducted from the purchase price.

רַב הוּנָא אָמַר: שְׁתוּת כְּפָחוֹת מִשְּׁתוּת – הָכִי קָאָמַר: פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁתוּת, וּשְׁתוּת בַּכְּלָל – הִגִּיעוֹ. יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁתוּת – יְנַכֶּה. רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר: שְׁתוּת כְּיוֹתֵר מִשְּׁתוּת – הָכִי קָאָמַר: פָּחוֹת מִשְּׁתוּת – הִגִּיעוֹ. עַד שְׁתוּת, וּשְׁתוּת בַּכְּלָל – יְנַכֶּה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains the respective reasons of the two *amora’im*: **Rav Huna says** that a difference of **one-sixth is like** a difference of **less than one-sixth,** as **this** is what the mishna **is saying:** If the difference is **less than one-sixth, and including** a difference that is precisely **one-sixth, it is** the buyer’s, as the sale is valid, and if it is **more than one-sixth,** the seller **must deduct** the difference from the purchase price. **Rav Yehuda says** that a difference of **one-sixth is like** a difference of **more than one-sixth,** as **this** is what the mishna **is saying:** If the difference is **less than one-sixth, it is** the buyer’s, as the sale is valid, and if the difference is greater, **until** it is calculated at **one-sixth, and including** a difference that is precisely **one-sixth,** the seller **must deduct** the difference from the purchase price.

מֵיתִיבִי: ״בְּסִימָנָיו וּבִמְצָרָיו״, פִּיחֵת שְׁתוּת אוֹ הוֹתִיר שְׁתוּת – הֲרֵי הוּא כְּשׁוּם הַדַּיָּינִין, הִגִּיעוֹ. וְהָא שׁוּם הַדַּיָּינִין, דִּשְׁתוּת כְּיוֹתֵר מִשְּׁתוּת הוּא!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara **raises an objection** to Rav Huna’s statement from a *baraita*: If one sells a field to another, telling him that he is selling him a field measuring a *beit kor* **within its** particular **demarcations and borders,** and **he gave** him a field that is **one-sixth less** than the measure stipulated, **or,** alternatively, **he gave** him a field that is **one-sixth more** than the measure stipulated, **it is like** a sale of orphans’ property that is executed in accordance with **the judges’ assessment** of the value of that property, and therefore **it is** the buyer’s, as the sale is valid. The Gemara states the objection: **But** in the case of a sale executed in accordance with **the judges’ assessment,** an error of precisely **one-sixth is like** an error of **more than one-sixth,** and the sale is void. This contradicts Rav Huna’s opinion that an error of one-sixth is like an error of less than one-sixth.

אָמַר לְךָ רַב הוּנָא: וּלְטַעְמָיךְ, ״הִגִּיעוֹ״ קָא תָּנֵי! אֶלָּא כְּשׁוּם הַדַּיָּינִין – וְלֹא כְּשׁוּם הַדַּיָּינִין; כְּשׁוּם הַדַּיָּינִין – לִשְׁתוּת, וְלֹא כְּשׁוּם הַדַּיָּינִין – דְּאִילּוּ הָתָם, בָּטֵל מִקָּח; וְאִילּוּ הָכָא, הִגִּיעוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: **Rav Huna** could have **said to you** in reply: Even **according to your reasoning,** there is still a difficulty, since the *baraita* **teaches** that **it is** the buyer’s, i.e., the sale is final. **Rather,** the comparison drawn between this *halakha* and the judges’ assessment is not a general comparison. It is **like the judges’ assessment, but** it is **not** entirely **like the judges’ assessment.** It is **like the judges’ assessment** in that the limit is **one-sixth, but it is not like the judges’ assessment, as there,** in the case of the judges’ assessment, **the sale is voided, while here,** in the mishna, **it is** the buyer’s, and the sale is final.
