פירוש על טבול יום 2:6

חבית ששקעה (a jar which sunk) – a wine jug of heave-offering/priest’s due that fell into a cistern and sunk into the wine that is in cistern, and the wine that is in the cistern is unconsecrated and floats above on the top of the cistern. And he (i.e., the person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom) touched/came in contact with it, etc. If he let down his hand into the mouth of the cistern...

A jug which sunk into a cistern containing wine, and a tevul yom touched it: If [he touched it] from the rim and inwards, it serves as a connective; If from the rim and outwards, it does not serve as a connective. Our mishnah describes an open jug of terumah wine that sinks into a cistern containing hullin (non-sacred) wine. If the tevul yom touches the wine that is inside the rim of the jug, even if this wine came from the cistern, all of the wine in the jug is connected. The terumah wine will all be disqualified. However, if he touches outside of the rim of the jug, then the wine is not connected to the wine in the jug, even if it is the same height as the jug and may indeed be intermingling. The jug in the wine remains pure and can be used as terumah wine.

מן השפה ולפנים הרי זה חיבור (from the rim and inward it is deemed connected) – and all the wine that is in the wine jug is invalidated, and even if the wine jug from the outset was not completely full from the wine of heave-offering/priest’s due.

Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri says: even though [the level of wine in the cistern] is the height of a man [above the sunken jar], and he touched [the wine] directly above the mouth of the jar, it serves as a connective. Again, Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri rules strictly concerning connectives. Even if there is a tremendous amount of wine in the cistern above the jug of terumah, the entire height of a man, and the tevul yom touched the wine directly above the jug, the wine above the jug and the wine in the jug are disqualified. Basically, this would seem to mean that the entire contents of the cistern are disqualified. If he touched the wine in the cistern on the sides of the jug, the jug's content would not be disqualified.

מן השפה ולחוץ – that he didn’t put his hand into the mouth of the wine jus, even though he touched the wine of the cistern that is opposite the mouth of the wine jug, nevertheless if is not connected.

אפילו על גבי רום קומה (even if [the level of the wine in the cistern] was a man’s height [above the sunken jar]) – that the wine that was in the cistern ascended on the face of the jug to the height of a person, if he touched corresponding to its mouth, it is connection. But the Halakha Is not according to Rabbi Yohanan ben Nuri.
