מַשִּׁילִין פֵּרוֹת דֶּרֶךְ אֲרֻבָּה בְּיוֹם טוֹב, אֲבָל לֹא בְשַׁבָּת, וּמְכַסִּים פֵּרוֹת בְּכֵלִים מִפְּנֵי הַדֶּלֶף, וְכֵן כַּדֵּי יַיִן וְכַדֵּי שֶׁמֶן. וְנוֹתְנִין כְּלִי תַּחַת הַדֶּלֶף בְּשַׁבָּת:

One may drop fruit through the arubah (an aperture) on yom tov, but not on Shabbath. [They permitted one who had fruits or produce spread on his roof for drying, who saw rain coming, to exert himself and throw them to the ground (in his house) through the aperture in his roof, this not entailing great effort. And this, only with an aperture, where the fruit need merely be dropped, but with a window (as with a roof surrounded by a wall with a window in it), where he must lift the fruit to the window and then drop it — so much exertion was not permitted by the rabbis.] And fruits may be covered with vessels (to protect them) from a drip [in the roof. And we do not consider this an exertion not required for yom tov, the rabbis having permitted it because of the monetary loss involved.] The same applies to pitchers of wine and pitchers of oil [i.e., they may be covered (to protect them) from the drip.] And a vessel may be placed under a drip on Shabbath [to collect the water so that the house not be muddied. And if the vessel fills up, he need not hesitate to spill it out and repeat the process.]
