Commentary for Pesachim 103:10

רבינא אמר בפלוגתא דהני תנאי דתנן אוכלין בתמרין עד שיכלה האחרון שבצוער רשב"ג אומר

R'Judah said: [They can say to him,] 'Go out and do you too bring [produce] from the place whence you have [now] brought it, and lo! it has ceased [there]'. To this R'Ashi demurred: According to R'Judah, has he then caught them [these restrictions] up on the back of an ass!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that he brings them back with him! The produce has neither grown in that second town nor does he consume it there: how then can he be subject to the restrictions of that place?');">¹¹</span> Rather, said R'Ashi, [This enters] in the controversy of the following Tannaim. For we learned: If a man preserves three [kinds of] preserves In one barrel,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., three different vegetables. These may 'cease from the field' at different times - the reference is to the Sabbatical year.');">¹²</span> - R'Eliezer said: One may eat [in reliance] upon the first [only];<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As soon as the first kind 'ceases from the field', he must declare the whole free to all, because their being preserved together makes them as one.');">¹³</span> R'Joshua said: Even [in reliance] upon the last;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' He may go on eating of all three until the last kind has ceased from the field.');">¹⁴</span> R'Gamaliel said: Whatever kind has ceased from the field, he must remove that kind from the barrel, and the halachah is as his ruling.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Now in the Mishnah there is the same controversy. The first Tanna agrees with R. Joshua's lenient view, and this is what he means: If a man carries various kinds of produce from a place where they have not ceased to a place where all of them have ceased, he is bound to remove them. But if only some kinds have ceased, he may eat even of the kind which has ceased. R. Judah rules, One can say to him, 'Go out and do you too bring of that kind from the field', i.e., you will not find of that kind, and therefore you must remove it in accordance with R. Gamaliel.');">¹⁵</span> Rabina said, [It enters] into the controversy of the following Tannaim. For we learned:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [The teaching that follows is not a Mishnah but a Baraitha, Tosef. Sheb. VII. Read accordingly with MS. M.: 'It has been taught'.]');">¹⁶</span> One may eat dates until the last in Zoar is finished;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Dates may be eaten in the whole of Judea until the last palm tree is finished in Zoar, a town near the Dead Sea (Gen. XIII, 10) particularly well-stocked with palm trees (v. Deut. XXXIV, 3, though 'the city of palm trees' mentioned there refers to Jericho, not Zoar) .');">¹⁷</span> R'Simeon B'Gamaliel said:
