Commentary for Avodah Zarah 74:11
אמר להו רבא לאו אמינא לכו לא תתלו ביה בוקי סריקי ברב נחמן הכי אמר רב נחמן ספק טומאה ברשות הרבים התיר להן
Rava said to them: Have I not said to you not to hang empty pitchers on R.N ahman! This is what R. Nahman said: He [Yose b. Yoezer] permitted a doubtful case of impurity in a public domain.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Rava completely dismisses the statement attributed to R. Nahman at the end of yesterday’s section. He has another interpretation altogether of what R. Yose b. Yoezer said that made him seem overly lenient—he stated that cases of doubtful impurity in the public domain should be ruled leniently.
