Commentary for Bava Batra 42:1

מאי טעמא עבדת הכי אמר ליה דכתיב (דברים כה, יט) תמחה את זכר עמלק אמר ליה והא אנן זכר קרינן א"ל אנא זכר אקריון אזל שייליה לרביה אמר ליה היאך אקריתן אמר ליה זכר

Why have you acted thus [i.e. killed only the males]? He replied: Because it is written, Thou shalt blot out the males [zekar] of Amalek.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XXV, 19. ');"><sup>1</sup></span>

Mordechai on Bava Batra

Note 516: And [in a case of] an alleyway that is a dead end from three sides and Reuven lives next to the dead end; and Shimon comes to live next to the open end, such that the [gentile who has a business arrangement with Reuven] would not be able to walk [to Reuven] if he did not first walk in front of Shimon's entrance - it appears that [Reuven] can prevent him [from opening a competing business there], like the [statement] of Rav Huna. See the chapter [entitled] Chezkat HaBatim regarding the property of [gentiles], etc.; and also the chapter [entitled] HaOmer regarding [the case of] Rav Gidel who was turning over, etc.; and the first chapter of Bava Metzia regarding one who lifted a lost object [to acquire it] for his fellow. Aviasaf.
