Una ziz [piedra o madera que se proyecta desde la pared sobre el dominio público, a más de diez tefachim sobre el suelo del dominio público] —ellos [los del piso superior] pueden colocar (objetos sobre él) y tomar de él en Shabat, [porque el aire (es decir, la atmósfera) del dominio público alcanza solo hasta diez tefachim. Y solo se pueden colocar allí vasos rompibles, como vasos y matraces, pero no irrompibles, para que no caigan en el dominio público y sean recuperados.] Uno puede pararse en un dominio privado y moverse (un objeto) en el dominio público, [es decir, puede pararse en su casa o en el techo y tomar un objeto en el dominio público y colocarlo en otro lugar del dominio público, aunque su cabeza y la mayor parte de su cuerpo no estén en el público dominio en el lugar del objeto, y no decretamos (en contra de esto) no sea que él venga a tomarlo], y él pueda pararse en el dominio público y moverse (un objeto) en un dominio privado, siempre que lo haga no lo quite de los cuatro codos [en los que estaba acostado]

Introduction
This mishnah contains two independent mishnayot. The first deals with a ledge in front of a window and the second deals with a person standing in one domain and moving objects in another.

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
נותנין עליו – those who live above and take them from him, for the airspace of the public domain does not extend other than up to ten [handbreadths] , and specifically for utensils that break like cups and glass which we place on it. But we do not do so for utensils that do not break, lest they fall into the public domain and they will go and carry them.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
If there was a ledge in front of a window it is permitted to put objects on it or to remove objects from it on Shabbat. The ledge in front of the window of a house is assumedly more than ten handbreadths above the public domain. As we learned in yesterday’s mishnah, the air more than ten handbreadths above the public domain is not considered to be part of the public domain. Therefore, it is permitted to move objects from the house onto the ledge and vice versa. Some commentaries add that the ledge must be four handbreadths wide and long so that it can be considered a private domain.

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
עומד אדם ברה"י – in the house or on the roof and he takes an object here and places it there in the public domain, and even though his head and most of his body stands in the public domain in the place of the object, we do not decree that perhaps he will bring it near him.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
A man may stand in a private domain and move objects in a public domain or he may stand in a public domain and move objects in a private domain, provided he does not take them beyond four cubits. The mishnah teaches that a man may stand in one domain and move objects within another domain and that we are not concerned lest he come to bring something from one domain into the other. Had we had that concern we would not have allowed him to stand in one domain and even touch an object in another domain. The only thing that he is not allowed to do is stand in the private domain and move an object four cubits in the public domain, since this is always prohibited.
