Commentary for Pesachim 78:8

כללו של דבר כל שיש בו טעם מרור יוצאין בו וכל שאין בו טעם מרור אין יוצאין בו תרגומא אקלח ת"ר אין יוצאין בהן כמושין משום ר"א בר' צדוק אמרו יוצאין בהן כמושין

THE LAW IS COMPLIED WITH BY [EATING THEM] BOTH MOIST [FRESH] OR DRY etc. R'Hisda said: They learned this only of the stalk; but in the case of the leaves, only moist [fresh] ones, but not dry ones. But since a later clause states, WITH THEIR STALK, it follows that the first clause [refers to] leaves? [That clause] indeed gives an explanation: when does he [the Tanna] teach, BOTH MOIST AND DRY?
