Kommentar zu Bava Batra 2:6
נִפּוּל הַנִּמְצָא בְתוֹךְ חֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה, הֲרֵי הוּא שֶׁל בַּעַל הַשּׁוֹבָךְ. חוּץ מֵחֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה, הֲרֵי הוּא שֶׁל מוֹצְאוֹ. נִמְצָא בֵין שְׁנֵי שׁוֹבָכוֹת, קָרוֹב לָזֶה, שֶׁלּוֹ. קָרוֹב לָזֶה, שֶׁלּוֹ. מֶחֱצָה עַל מֶחֱצָה, שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחֲלֹקוּ:
Wenn ein Jungvogel innerhalb von fünfzig Ellen [eines Korbs] gefunden wurde, gehört er dem Besitzer des Korbs. (Wenn es gefunden wurde) jenseits von fünfzig Ellen gehört es dem Finder. Wenn es zwischen zwei Coops gefunden würde [innerhalb von jeweils fünfzig Ellen]—Wenn es näher dran wäre, gehört es ihm (dem Besitzer dieser Genossenschaft); wenn es näher dran wäre, gehört es dem anderen. Wenn es in der Mitte wäre, teilen sie sich.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bava Batra
If a young pigeon is found within fifty cubits it belongs to the owner of the dovecote; but if it is found beyond fifty cubits it belongs to he finds it. If it is found between two dovecotes: if it is nearer to this one than it belongs him [that owns this dovecote]; and if it is nearer to the other, it belongs to him [that owns the other dovecote]; and if it is at a like distance from either, they share it. This mishnah is a simple mishnah dealing with pigeons that are lost. If one finds a pigeon fifty cubits from a dovecote, one can assume that it belongs to the owner of that dovecote. If it is further than fifty cubits, one need not make that assumption and one may keep the pigeon. If it is found between two dovecotes it is assumed to belong to the owner of the nearest dovecote. If it is equidistant between the two, the two owners will split the value of the pigeon.

Questions for Further Thought:
• This mishnah deals with a topic that was discussed in the second chapter of Bava Metzia, lost items. Why then is this mishnah in our chapter and not there? What does this tell us about the organizational pattern of the Mishnah?
