How does he nullify it? [If] he pruned [it], or trimmed [it], [or] he took a stick from it or a twig —- even a leaf, it is nullified. [If] he shaved chips from it for its own needs, it remains prohibited; not for its own needs, it becomes permitted.

R’ Yishmael says: Three stones, one next to the other, [lying] next to a Marculis, are prohibited, but two are permitted. But the Sages say: Those which appear to be with it are prohibited, but those which do not appear to be with it are permitted.

[If] one found on top of it coins, [or] a garment, or utensils —- these are permitted; [but if he found] vines of grapes, or wreaths of grain-stalks . . . [they are] prohibited; or wines, oils, flours . . . [they are] prohibited; or anything the likes of which are brought on the [Temple] Altar —- [they are] prohibited.

[If] an idol had a garden or a bath, one may benefit from them without consideration, but one may not benefit from them for consideration. [If] it belonged to it and to others, one may benefit from them with or without consideration.
