הָעֹמֶר שֶׁהוּא סָמוּךְ לַגַּפָּה וְלַגָּדִישׁ וְלַבָּקָר וְלַכֵּלִים, וּשְׁכָחוֹ, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, אֵינוֹ שִׁכְחָה. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, שִׁכְחָה:

If the sheaf were near a gappah [a fence of stones placed one upon the other without loam], a stack, cattle, or [plowing] implements, Beth Shammai say that it is not shikchah, and Beth Hillel say that it is shikchah. [The argument between Beth Shammai and Beth Hillel concerned a sheaf that he took hold of to take to the city and which he placed beside a gappah or a stack, where he forgot it. Beth Shammai say that it is not shikchah because he took hold of it, and Beth Hillel say that it is shikchah. Another interpretation: Beth Shammai say that it is not shikchah even with a sheaf that he did no take hold of at all. For since he placed it next to a particular object, he will come to remember it; and Beth Hillel say that it is shikchah, so long as he did not take hold of it. And Beth Hillel concede that if he took hold of it and then forgot it, it is not shikchah.]
