רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר, תְּאֵנִים שְׁחוֹרוֹת מַעֲלוֹת אֶת הַלְּבָנוֹת, לְבָנוֹת, מַעֲלוֹת אֶת הַשְּׁחוֹרוֹת. עִגּוּלֵי דְבֵלָה, הַגְּדוֹלִים מַעֲלִים אֶת הַקְּטַנִּים, וְהַקְּטַנִּים מַעֲלִין אֶת הַגְּדוֹלִים. הָעִגּוּלִים מַעֲלִין אֶת הַמַּלְבְּנִים, וְהַמַּלְבְּנִים מַעֲלִין אֶת הָעִגּוּלִים. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹסֵר. וְרַבִּי עֲקִיבָא אוֹמֵר, בְּיָדוּעַ מַה נָּפְלָה, אֵין מַעֲלוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ, וּכְשֶׁאֵינוֹ יָדוּעַ מַה נָּפְלָה, מַעֲלוֹת זוֹ אֶת זוֹ:
Rabbi Yehoshua says: black figs can be counted together with the white [to remove a white fig that is <i>Terumah</i> and fell into a mixture of black and white figs], and the white can be counted together with the black [to remove a black fig]. In the case of cakes of figs, the large can be counted together with the small, and the small can be counted together with the large. The round [cakes of figs] can be counted together with the square [cakes], and the square can be counted together with the round. Rabbi Eliezer prohibits this. Rabbi Akiva says: if it is known what [kind] fell in, then the one [kind] cannot be counted together with the other, but if it is not known what [kind] fell in, then the one [kind] can be counted together with the other.
Tosefta Terumot
If the nuts cracked, or if the pomegranates burst open, or the casks became unstopped, or the pumpkins were cut, or the loaves were broken up, they become neutralized in two-hundred-and-one (Orl. 3:8, Kulp tr.). [If] they fell and afterwards were cut, whether inadvertently or intentionally, behold, they are not lifted up (i.e., neutralized), the words of Rabbi Meir. And Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Shimon say, whether inadvertently or intentionally, they are lifted up. Rabbi Yosei says, if inadvertently, they are lifted up, but intentionally they are not lifted up, and moreover Rabbi Yosei says, terumah that is sealed, that gets mixed up with terumah that is unsealed, and it becomes unsealed, or [terumah that starts off] unsealed and gets mixed up with [other] terumah that is unsealed, behold, these get raised up, for we are not only discussing sealed [containers] mixed with [other] sealed [containers], and consequently the general rule is stated, that Rabbi Eliezer says, the one who knows does not lift up, and the one that does not know does lift up. Rabbi Yehoshua says, whether one knows or one does not know, it is lifted up, the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yehuda says: Rabbi Eliezer says, whether one knows or one doe not know, it is lifted up, [and] Rabbi Yehoshua says, whether one knows or one does not know, it is not lifted up, [and] Rabbi Akiva says, one who knows does not lift up and one who does not know lifts up.
