רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, תְּאֵנִים שְׁחוֹרוֹת מַעֲלוֹת אֶת הַלְּבָנוֹת, לְבָנוֹת, מַעֲלוֹת אֶת הַשְּׁחוֹרוֹת. עִגּוּלֵי דְבֵלָה, הַגְּדוֹלִים מַעֲלִים אֶת הַקְּטַנִּים, וְהַקְּטַנִּים מַעֲלִין אֶת הַגְּדוֹלִים. הָעִגּוּלִים מַעֲלִין אֶת הַמַּלְבְּנִים, וְהַמַּלְבְּנִים מַעֲלִין אֶת הָעִגּוּלִים. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹסֵר. וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, בְּיָדוּעַ מַה נָּפְלָה, אֵין מַעֲלוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ, וּכְשֶׁאֵינוֹ יָדוּעַ מַה נָּפְלָה, מַעֲלוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ:

Rabbi Yehoshua says: black figs can be counted together with the white [to remove a white fig that is <i>Terumah</i> and fell into a mixture of black and white figs], and the white can be counted together with the black [to remove a black fig]. In the case of cakes of figs, the large can be counted together with the small, and the small can be counted together with the large. The round [cakes of figs] can be counted together with the square [cakes], and the square can be counted together with the round. Rabbi Eliezer prohibits this. Rabbi Akiva says: if it is known what [kind] fell in, then the one [kind] cannot be counted together with the other, but if it is not known what [kind] fell in, then the one [kind] can be counted together with the other.
