פִּלְפֶּלֶת, כָּל שֶׁהוּא. וְעִטְרָן, כָּל שֶׁהוּא. מִינֵי בְשָׂמִים וּמִינֵי מַתָּכוֹת, כָּל שֶׁהֵן. מֵאַבְנֵי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וּמֵעֲפַר הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, מֶקֶק סְפָרִים וּמֶקֶק מִטְפְּחוֹתֵיהֶם, כָּל שֶׁהוּא, שֶׁמַּצְנִיעִין אוֹתָן לְגָנְזָן. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף הַמּוֹצִיא מִמְּשַׁמְּשֵׁי עֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים, כָּל שֶׁהוּא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (דברים יג) וְלֹא יִדְבַּק בְּיָדְךָ מְאוּמָה מִן הַחֵרֶם:

Pilpeleth [effective as a mouth deodorant. This is not our pilpel (pepper)], any amount; itran [used for healing migraine], any amount. Spices and metals, [of which small goads can be made], any amount. (Particles) of the stones of the altar, of the earth of the altar, the mould (mekek) of books, and the mould of their covers ["mekek," decay, as in (Zechariah 14:12): "hamek besaro" ("His flesh will decay")], any amount, for they are secreted. [(All things of holiness must be secreted.)] R. Yehudah says: Also (liable is) one who takes out any amount of the appurtenances of idolatry, viz. (Deuteronomy 13:18): "Let there adhere to your hand naught of the spoil" (of idolatry), [whence it is seen that Scripture accorded it significance in forbidding it; and he effects great amendment in removing idolatry from his house. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.]
