Commento su Ohalot 18:10
עֲשָׂרָה מְקוֹמוֹת אֵין בָּהֶן מִשּׁוּם מְדוֹר גּוֹיִם. אָהֳלֵי הָעַרְבִיִּים, וְהַסֻּכּוֹת, וְהַצְּרִיפִין, וְהַבֻּרְגָּנִין, וְהָאַלְקְטִיּוֹת, וּבֵית שַׁעַר, וַאֲוִירָהּ שֶׁל חָצֵר, וְהַמֶּרְחָץ, וּמְקוֹם הַחִצִּים, וּמְקוֹם הַלִּגְיוֹנוֹת:
Dieci posti non hanno [le leggi] della dimora di un non ebreo: tende arabe, capanne, tettoie, tettoie, case estive, un cancello, spazio aperto in un cortile, un bagno, un posto di frecce e caserme.
Bartenura on Mishnah Oholot
אוהלי ערביים – they are not established/set up in one place, and because they are not set up, they don’t bury in it. Alternatively, because they travel and camp from place to place, they did not want to abet the defilement.

English Explanation of Mishnah Oholot
Ten places are not [subject to the laws] of non-Jewish dwelling-places:
Arabs’ tents,
Field-huts (,
Triangular field-huts,
Fruit-shelters,
Summer shelters,
A gate-house,
The open spaces of a courtyard,
A bath-house,
An armory,
And the place where the legions [camp].
Our mishnah, the final in the tractate (have we really reached the end?), lists places owned by non-Jews that are not considered impure. These places are all for temporary dwelling and therefore there is no assumption that fetuses would have been buried there.
