Quoting%20commentary for Shabbat 9:5
אמר רבי אבא מתניתין כגון (שקבל בטרסקל) והניח ע"ג טרסקל דאיכא נמי הנחה והא ידו קתני תני טרסקל שבידו
[Now it states], 'If he stands in his place and catches it, he [the thrower] is liable', — but surely there must be depositing on an area four [handbreadths square], which is absent! Hence this proves that we [i.e., 'others'] do not require a place four by four. Yet perhaps only depositing [on such an area] is not required, but removal [from such] may be necessary? And even in respect to depositing too: perhaps it means that he spread out his garment and caught it, so that there is also depositing [on such an area]? — Said R. Zera: Our Mishnah also means that he removes it [the article] from a basket and places it in a basket, so that there is depositing too [in a place four square]. But HIS HAND is stated? — Learn: a basket in HIS HAND. Now, that is well of a basket in a private domain; but a basket in public ground ranks as a private domain?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Why then should he be liable in respect of carrying out?
