Commentary for Pesachim 55:7

אמר רבה מסתברא ע"ז דלים המלח קא אזלא לא בעי שחיקה חמץ דלשאר נהרות קאזיל בעי פירור א"ל רב יוסף אדרבה איפכא מסתברא ע"ז דלא ממיסה בעי שחיקה חמץ דממיס לא בעי פירור

BUT THE SAGES MAINTAIN: HE CRUMBLES AND THROWS IT etc. The scholars asked: How is it meant: He crumbles and throws it to the wind, or he crumbles and throws it into the sea; or perhaps, he crumbles and throws it to the wind, but he may throw it into the sea whole [without crumbling]? And we learned similarly in connection with an idol too: R'Jose said: He crushes and throws it to the wind or casts it into the sea.
