וּמַזְמֵין (לְהוּ) [לֵיהּ] לְדִינָא, פַּסְלֵיהּ?! אֶלָּא כֹּל דַּיָּין דְּמִתְקְרֵי לְדִין, וּמַפְּקִין מִינֵּיהּ מָמוֹנָא בְּדִין – לָאו שְׁמֵיהּ דַּיָּין. כְּתַבוּ הָכִי: ״בְּרַם סָאבֵי דִיהוּדָאֵי אָמְרִי: כֹּל דַּיָּין דְּמִתְקְרֵי לְדִין וּמַפְּקִין מִינֵּיהּ מָמוֹנָא בְּדִין – לָאו שְׁמֵיהּ דַּיָּין״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**and summons** a judge **to judgment,** has he **disqualified** the judge even if he were later to be exonerated? **Rather,** it should say: **Any judge who is summoned to judgment and money is lawfully taken from him,** i.e., he was ordered to return someone’s property, **is not considered a judge.** When they heard this, **they wrote this** addendum to the original inscription: **But the elders of the Jews say** that **any judge who is summoned to judgment and money is lawfully taken from him is not considered a judge.**

חֲזָא דִּכְתִיב: ״בְּרֵאשׁ כֹּל מוֹתָא – אֲנָא דָּם, בְּרֵאשׁ כֹּל חַיִּין – אֲנָא חֲמַר״. אֶלָּא מֵעַתָּה, דְּנָפֵיל מֵאִיגָּרָא וּמִית, וּדְנָפֵיל מִדִּיקְלָא וּמִית, דְּמָא קַטְלֵיהּ?! וְתוּ, מַן דְּדַרְכֵּיהּ לְמֵימַת – מַשְׁקוּ לֵיהּ חַמְרָא, וְחָיֵי?! אֶלָּא הָכִי בָּעֵי לְמִכְתַּב: בְּרֵאשׁ כֹּל מַרְעִין – אֲנָא דָּם, בְּרֵאשׁ כֹּל אָסְווֹן – אֲנָא חֲמַר. כְּתַבוּ הָכִי: ״בְּרַם סָאבֵי דִיהוּדָאֵי אָמְרִי: בְּרֵאשׁ כֹּל מַרְעִין – אֲנָא דָּם, בְּרֵאשׁ כֹּל אָסְווֹן – אֲנָא חֲמַר, בַּאֲתַר דְּלֵית חֲמַר – תַּמָּן מִתְבָּעוּ סַמָּנִין״.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
Rabbi Bena’a also **saw that it was written** there: **At the head** of **all death am I, blood,** i.e., people die from an excess of blood; **at the head** of **all life am I, wine,** i.e., wine is what gives life. He said to them: **If that is so,** in the case of someone **who falls from a roof and dies, or** someone **who falls from a palm tree and dies,** was it **blood** that **killed him? And furthermore,** concerning someone **who is on the way to death, can they give him a drink of wine and** he will **live? Rather, this** is what **should be written: At the head of all illness am I, blood; at the head of all healing am I, wine.** When they heard this, **they wrote this** addendum to the original inscription: **But the elders of the Jews say: At the head of all illness am I, blood; at the head of all healing am I, wine. In a place where there is no wine, herbs are required there** as medicines.

Having related that incident, the Gemara notes that **at the entrance of Kapotekiyya** it was **written: *Anpak*, *anbag*, *antal*,** which are all names for the same measurement. **And what is *antal*? It is** the **quarter**-*log* **of** the **Torah.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** The Gemara asks: **What** is the meaning of the mishna’s statement: With regard to **a spout,** its owner **has no** means to establish **an acquired privilege for its** use, **but** he does **have** the means to establish **an acquired privilege with regard to its place? Rav Yehuda said** that **Shmuel said: This** is what it **is saying:** Concerning **a spout,** its owner **has no** means to establish **an acquired privilege for its** use **with regard to one side,** i.e., the owner of the field below has the right to move the spout from one place to another on one side of the roof, **but** he does **have** the means to establish **an acquired privilege concerning its place with regard to two sides,** i.e., the owner of the field below does not have the right to move it to another side of the roof.

**Rabbi Ḥanina said** there is a different explanation: With regard to **a spout,** its owner **has no** means to establish **an acquired privilege for its** size, **as if it was long,** the owner of the field below may **shorten it, but** one does **have** the means to establish **an acquired privilege with regard to its place, as if** the owner of the field below **comes to remove it** entirely, **he may not remove it.**

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yirmeya bar Abba said** there is a different explanation: With regard to **a spout,** its owner **has no** means to establish **an acquired privilege for its** use, **as if** the owner of the field below **wishes to build beneath it,** he may **build,** and the owner of the spout may not prevent him from doing so; **but** one does **have** the means to establish **an acquired privilege with regard to its place, as if** the owner of the field below **comes to remove it** entirely, **he may not remove it.**
