Kommentar zu Tahorot 6:8
בָּסִילְקִי, רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לַשַּׁבָּת וּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים לַטֻּמְאָה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אִם עוֹמֵד הוּא בַפֶּתַח הַזֶּה וְרוֹאֶה אֶת הַנִּכְנָסִין וְאֶת הַיּוֹצְאִין בַּפֶּתַח הַלָּז, רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לְכָךְ וּלְכָךְ. וְאִם לָאו, רְשׁוּת הַיָּחִיד לַשַּׁבָּת וּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים לַטֻּמְאָה:
Eine Basilika ist eine private Domäne in Bezug auf den Schabbat, aber eine öffentliche Domäne in Bezug auf Unreinheiten. Rabbi Yehuda sagt: Wenn jemand, der an einem Eingang steht, diejenigen sehen kann, die durch den anderen Eingang ein- und aussteigen, ist dies eine private Domäne in Bezug auf beide; und wenn nicht, dann ist es eine private Domäne in Bezug auf den Schabbat und eine öffentliche Domäne in Bezug auf Unreinheit.
Bartenura on Mishnah Tahorot
בסילקי (basilica, a building with colonnades for holding courts, meeting place for merchants, exchange) – a large wide street/open place. And this is what we said in Chapter two of [Tractate] Yoma [folio 24b] the chamber of hewn stones was like a large basilica/building with colonnades for holding courts.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
A basilica: is a private domain in respect of the laws of Shabbat but as a public domain in respect of those of uncleanness. A basilica is a large building through which many people pass. Probably something akin to city hall in our day. When it comes to Shabbat it is still a building and therefore it is considered a private domain. However, when it comes to the laws of uncleanness since so many people pass through and it is a public building, it is considered a public domain.

ורואה את הנכנסים ואת היוצאים- for when he sees those who enter and those who leave it is considered more a private domain. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
Rabbi Judah says: if one is standing at one door can see those that enter and leave at the other door, it is regarded as a private domain in both respects; otherwise it is regarded as a private domain in respect of Shabbat and as a public domain in respect of uncleanness. Rabbi Judah adds a criterion to the definition of when a basilica is a public or private domain. If it is small enough so that one standing at one door can see the other door, then it is a private domain. If it is larger than that, he agrees with the previous opinion.
