אלא כי איתמר דרבי ינאי לענין ביטול איתמר דאף על גב דהבריך והרכיב בגופו של אילן כי נטל מה שהחליף שפיר דמי דמהו דתימא כיון דהבריך והרכיב בגופו של אילן כאילן שנטעו מתחלה דמי וליתסר כולה קמ"ל

Rather when the statement of the House of R. Yannai was stated it was in reference to annulment, that although he bent a branch [into the ground] or grafted it on the trunk of the tree, if he removes the new growth [on the grafting], it is all right. For what might you have said? Since he bent a branch [into the ground] or grafted it on the trunk of the tree, it is like a tree which had been originally planted for idolatry and the whole of it is prohibited. Consequently we are informed [that it is not so].
