If it [the pot] was placed next to the doorway so that, if raised, it would touch the lintel a handbreadth's space, if there was impurity beneath it, inside it, or on top if it, the impurity pierces and goes up, pierces and goes down. If it was a handbreadth above the ground and the impurity is beneath it or in the house, beneath it and the house is impure and its inside and on top of it is pure. [If it was] inside it or on top of it, everything is impure. [If it was placed so that] if raised it would not touch the lintel a handbreadth's space or [if it was] attached to the lintel, if the impurity was beneath it, only what is beneath it is impure.
