הַזּוֹרֵק אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת בַּכֹּתֶל, לְמַעְלָה מֵעֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, כְּזוֹרֵק בָּאֲוִיר, לְמַטָּה מֵעֲשָׂרָה טְפָחִים, כְּזוֹרֵק בָּאָרֶץ. הַזּוֹרֵק בָּאָרֶץ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, חַיָּב. זָרַק לְתוֹךְ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת וְנִתְגַּלְגֵּל חוּץ לְאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, פָּטוּר. חוּץ לְאַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, וְנִתְגַּלְגֵּל לְתוֹךְ אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, חַיָּב:

If one throws (something) four cubits at a wall [from the beginning of four cubits to the end, and it landed on a wall abutting the public domain] — above ten cubits, it is as if he throws it in the air. [e.g., if it were a fig-cake and it stuck to the wall above ten cubits in the atmosphere of the public domain, he is not liable, for anything higher than ten cubits in the public domain is a makom p'tur.]; below ten cubits, it is as if he throws it on the ground [from the beginning of four to the end of four in the public domain. He is liable even if there are only four cubits exactly from the place of the picking up of the object to the wall. We do not say that the thickness of the fig-cake detracts from the four cubits so that "from the beginning of four to the end of four" does not obtain; for since he does not cancel the fig-cake to the wall, nothing is detracted by its thickness.] If he throws it four cubits on the ground, he is liable. If he threw it inside four cubits, and it rolled outside, he is exempt, [for he did not intend a throwing of liability]. (If he threw it) outside four cubits and it rolled inside, he is liable; [that is, when it rested somewhat outside four cubits before rolling back.]
