There are some who teach this in reference to the second clause [of the Mishnah]: If [the garden or bathhouse] belonged jointly to it and to others, one may use them whether it be to the advantage [of idolatry] or not. Abaye said: “Advantage” means that the payment is made to the other jointowners, and not to their advantage means that no payment is made to the priests.
