Commentary for Ketubot 153:12

בשלמא מתניתין לא קשיא כאן בבורסי גדול כאן בבורסי קטן אלא לרב יהודה קשיא תנאי היא דתניא מקמץ זה בורסי ויש אומרים זה המקמץ צואת כלבים:

One may well explain why our Mishnah is not a difficulty because the latter refers to a great tanner while the former refers to a small tanner; but according to Rav Judah there remains a difficulty? This is a dispute among Tannaim. For it was taught: “One who gathers” this is a “tanner;” and others say: It refers to “one who gathers dogs’ excrement.”
