Rab said: Any [remnant of] skin anywhere [the size of a sela'] saves [the animal from being declared trefah], except the skin around the hoofs.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., the skin of the nethermost limb of either the fore-legs or the hind legs; v. infra 122a. This skin is quite tender and is regarded as flesh and not as hide; consequently such skin would not save the animal from being declared trefah.');">¹⁶</span>
