One who owns a pit behind the house of another enters at the time that people ordinarily enter and leaves at the time that people ordinarily leave. He may not bring in his animal to give it to drink from his pit; rather he must fill [a container] and give it to drink outside. Each one may make a lock for himself.

One who owns a garden behind the garden of another enters when people ordinarily enter and leaves when people ordinarily leave. He may not bring merchants into it; nor may he enter from it into another field; and the [owner of the] outer [one] may plant the path.  [If] they assigned him a path on the side by mutual consent, he may enter whenever he wishes and leave whenever he wishes, and he may bring merchants into it. However, he may not enter from it into another field, and nei-ther is permitted to plant it.

[If] someone had a public thoroughfare pass-ing through his field, and he appropriated it and gave them [another one] on the side, what he has given is given, but his does not become his. A private path is four cubits [wide]; a public thoroughfare is six-teen cubits [wide]; the king's thoroughfare has no limit; [and] the path to a grave has no limit. A halting-place —- the judges of Tzippori said: An area of four kavs.

[If] one sells a place to another to make a catacomb for him [on it], and similarly, [if] one accepts [a contract] from another to dig a catacomb for him, he makes the inside of the crypt four cubits by six, and he opens eight recesses into it: three on each side, and two on the opposite [side]. The recesses [must be] four cubits long, seven [handbreadths] high, and six [hand-breadths] wide. R' Shimon says: He makes the inside of the crypt six cubits by eight, and opens thirteen recesses into it: four on each side, three on the opposite [side], one to the right of the entrance and one to the left. He makes a courtyard at the en-trance to the crypt, six by six, sufficient space for the bier and those who bury it. He opens two crypts into it: one on each side. R' Shimon says: Four, [one] on each of its four sides. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: All according to the [nature of the] rock.
