[If] someone brought bundles [of vegetables], dried figs, or garlic up to the roof so that they should [remain] moist, they are not included in [the law of] “if [water] is placed.” All bundles of [vegetables] in the marketplaces are considered tamei. R’ Yehudah declares the fresh ones tahor. Said R’ Meir: Why did they rule them tamei? Only because of spittle. All flour and fine flour of the marketplaces are tamei.  Chilkah, targis, and tasgi are tamei in all places.

All eggs are presumed to be tahor except for [those] of merchants of liquids. But if they sold together with them dried fruit, they are considered tahor. All fish are presumed to be tamei. R’ Yehudah says: [Concerning] a slice of Iltis fish, an Egyptian fish that is brought in a box, and a kulyas fish of Spain, these are all presumed to be tahor. Every [fish] brine is presumed to be tamei. And regarding all of them, an am haaretz is trusted to say ”they are tahor,” except for fish, because they deposit it with an am haaretz. R’ Eliezer ben Yaakov says: [Concerning] tahor [fish] brine into which a minute amount of water fell, it is tamei.

There are seven beverages: dew, water, wine, [olive] oil, blood, milk, and bee honey. Wasp honey is tahor and permitted for consumption.

[These are the] subcategories of water: that which issues from the eye, from the ear, from the nose, from the mouth, liquid excrement, whether a loose stool or urine, intentionally or unintentionally. [These are the] subcategories of blood: blood of slaughter of a kosher domesticated animal, of a non-domesticated animal, and of fowl, and blood of bloodletting for drinking. Whey is [considered] like milk, and olive-water is [considered] like oil, since the olive-water cannot emerge without oil. [These are] the words of R’ Shimon. R’ Meir says: Even though there is no oil with it. The blood of a sheretz is like its meat; [it] conveys tumah but does not render foods susceptible to tumah, and we have nothing else similar to it.
