4If one found cut figs on the road, even beside a field of cut figs, and similarly, if a fig tree overhangs the road, and he found beneath it figs, they are allowed [to be taken without being considered] robbery, and they are exempt from tithes. But in [a case of] olives and carobs, they require [tithes]. If one found dried [untrodden] figs, then if the majority of people had already trodden [their figs], he is required [to tithe them], but if not, he is exempt. If one found slices of [trodden] fig-cake, he is required [to tithe] since it is obvious that they come from a finished item. With carobs, if one has not yet brought them to the top of the roof, if he takes some of them down for his animals he is exempt [from tithing] since he puts back the leftovers.

5What type of courtyard makes [produce carried into it] require [tithing]? Rabbi Yishmael says: the Tyrian yard, for the vessels are protected therein. Rabbi Akiva says: any courtyard that one person may open and another may lock is exempt. Rabbi Nechemiah says: any courtyard in which a man is not ashamed to eat makes [produce] require [tithing]. Rabbi Yossi says: any courtyard into which a person may enter into and no one says to him, “What do you seek?” makes exempt. Rabbi Yehudah says: if there are two courtyards, one within the other, the inner makes [produce] require [tithing] and the outer makes exempt.

A Sukkah of the festival used on the festival [of Sukkot]: Rabbi Yehudah makes [produce brought into this Sukkah] require [tithing], but the Sages exempt.

Rabbi Akiva says: he can pick [grapes] from the cluster, or take apart the pomegranate, or slice the melon [and eat without tithing]. Coriander that was sown in a courtyard: one may pluck leaf by leaf and eat [without tithing], but if he combines them, he is required [to tithe].
