כָּל גַּגּוֹת הָעִיר, רְשׁוּת אַחַת, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא גַג גָּבוֹהַּ עֲשָׂרָה אוֹ נָמוֹךְ עֲשָׂרָה, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד רְשׁוּת בִּפְנֵי עַצְמוֹ. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אֶחָד גַּגּוֹת וְאֶחָד חֲצֵרוֹת וְאֶחָד קַרְפֵּיפוֹת, רְשׁוּת אֶחָד לַכֵּלִים שֶׁשָּׁבְתוּ לְתוֹכָן, וְלֹא לַכֵּלִים שֶׁשָּׁבְתוּ בְתוֹךְ הַבָּיִת:

All the roofs in the city are one domain [And even if there are separate dwellings below for two men, still, the roofs, which are not constantly used, are not distinctive domains, and vessels resting on one roof may be carried to the other], so long as one roof not be ten tefachim higher or lower than the other. [For if there is a ten tefach difference in height, it is forbidden to carry onto the roofs — a decree by reason of a mound ten tefachim high and four tefachim wide in the public domain, which (mound) is a private domain, that one not come to place things upon it to be carried.] These are the words of R. Meir. And the sages say: Each is a domain in itself. [And if the dwellers below did not make an eruv, it is forbidden to carry from one (roof) to the other.] R. Shimon says: Both roofs, and courtyards, and karpefoth (see 2:3) are (considered) one domain for vessels which rested within them, but not for vessels which rested in the house. [R. Shimon's ruling is the most lenient. He says that roofs, courtyards, and karpefoth which are not larger than beth sa'atayim — since their use is not distinctive and constant — are all considered one domain, and one may carry form one to the other without an eruv, even if the roofs were higher or lower than ten (vis-à-vis each other). For R. Shimon holds that courtyard eruvin are required only for house vessels. ("for vessels which rested within them":) Vessels which rested in one of them may be carried to the other. ("but not for vessels which rested in the house":) Vessels which were resting in the house and were carried into the courtyard by means of the eruv of the men of the courtyard may not be carried from one courtyard to another if the two courtyards did not make an eruv with each other. The halachah is in accordance with R. Shimon.]
