הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הָעִיר, מָכַר בָּתִּים, בּוֹרוֹת, שִׁיחִין, וּמְעָרוֹת, מֶרְחֲצָאוֹת וְשׁוֹבָכוֹת, בֵּית הַבַּדִּין וּבֵית הַשְּׁלָחִין, אֲבָל לֹא אֶת הַמִּטַּלְטְלִין. וּבִזְמַן שֶׁאָמַר לוֹ, הִיא וְכָל מַה שֶּׁבְּתוֹכָהּ, אֲפִלּוּ הָיוּ בָהּ בְּהֵמָה וַעֲבָדִים, הֲרֵי כֻלָּן מְכוּרִין. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, הַמּוֹכֵר אֶת הָעִיר, מָכַר אֶת הַסַּנְטֵר:

One who sells a city has sold the houses [and, it goes without saying, the courtyards, which are its essential constituents], boroth, shichin, and ma'aroth (see 2:1), bathhouses, dove-cotes, olive presses and irrigated ground [i.e., gardens and orchards appertaining to the city]; but he has not sold movables [i.e., appurtenances such as key, keleth, and the like (see 4:3). And it goes without saying that he has not sold wheat and barley.] And if he said to him: "It and all that is in it" — even if there were in it beasts and bondsmen, all are sold. [even bondsmen and beasts, which are mobile; and, it goes without saying, wheat and barley, which is not mobile.] R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: One who sells a city has sold the santer [a bondsman assigned to guard the city. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon b. Gamliel.]
