Commentary for Berakhot 81:1

בשלמא למ"ד תמרי דזיקא היינו דהכא קרי לה נובלות סתמא והתם קרי לה תמרה אלא למ"ד בושלי כמרא ניתני אידי ואידי נובלות תמרה או אידי ואידי נובלות סתמא קשיא:

It is quite right according to him who maintains it means "Dates blown from the tree by the wind" — then that is why he mentions here [in our Mishnah] nobelot without further specification and there [in the Mishnaic quotation] he calls it [nobelot] temarah. But according to him who says [nobelot temarah] means "Fruit scorched by the sun," let him teach in both passages either nobelot temarah or nobelot without further specification ! The question [remains unanswered].
