Commentary for Shabbat 14:10
גופא אמר רב חסדא נעץ קנה ברשות היחיד וזרק ונח על גביו אפי' גבוה מאה אמה חייב מפני שרה"י עולה עד לרקיע לימא רב חסדא דאמר כרבי דתניא זרק ונח ע"ג זיז כ"ש ר' מחייב וחכמים פוטרים (אלמא לא בעינן מקום ד' על ד')
Hence it surely follows that the reference is to a wall without a cavity. This proves it. [To revert to] the main text: R. Hisda said: If one fixes a rod in private ground and throws [an article from the street] and it alights on the top, even if it is a hundred cubits high, he is liable, because private ground extends up to heaven'. Shall we say that R. Hisda holds with Rabbi?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That depositing upon a place four handbreadths square is not required. ');"><sup>17</sup></span> For it was taught: If one throws [an object] and it alights upon a projection of whatever size; Rabbi holds him liable; the Sages exempt him!
