The volume of an egg of sheni food and the volume of an egg of shlishi food that one mixed together, [is] a sheni. [If] he split them, this one is a shlishi and that one is a shlishi. [If] this one fell by itself and that one [fell] by itself onto a loaf of terumah, they do not disqualify it. [If] they both fell together, they make it a shlishi.   The volume of an egg of rishon food and the volume of an egg of shlishi food that one mixed together, [is] a rishon. [If] he split them, this one is a sheni and that one is a sheni, because even the shlishi that touched the rishon became a sheni.  The volume of two eggs of rishon food, [and] the volume of two eggs of sheni food that one mixed together, [is] a rishon. [If] he split them [in two], this one is a rishon and that one is a rishon. Into three or into four, they are a sheni.  The volume of two eggs of sheni food and the volume of two eggs of shlishi food that one mixed together, [is] a sheni. [If] he split them [in two], this one is a sheni and that one is a sheni. Into three or four, they are a shlishi.

Slices of dough that cleave to one another, or loaves that cleave to one another: [If] one of them was contaminated by a sheretz, they are all starting [level]; [if] they [then] came apart, they are all starting [level].  [If they contracted tumah] from liq-uids, they are all sheni; [if] they came apart, they are all sheni. [If they contracted tumah] from [unwashed] hands, they are all shlishi; [if] they came apart, they are all shlishi.

[If] a slice of dough was starting [level] and one attached others to it, all of them are starting [level]. [If] they separated, it is starting [level] and all [the rest] of them are sheni. [If] it was a sheni and he attached others to it, they are all sheni. [If] they separated, it is a sheni and all [the rest] of them are shlishi. [If] it was a shlishi and he attached others to it, it is a shlishi, and all of them are tahor, whether they separated or they did not separate.

Consecrated loaves that have sacred water in their cavities: [If] one of them was con-taminated by a sheretz, they are all tamei. With terumah, it contaminates two and disqualifies one. If between them there is liquid that can moisten, even with terumah all is tamei.
