§ 1  Shalom. These fruits are forbidden in Beit She'an during the Seventh Year, but during other years of the seven-year cycle they are tithed as dubious (demai)-produce: cucumbers, watermelons, muskmelons, parsnip (carrots), mint that is bound by itself, black-eyed peas that are bound with rush, wild leeks between Shavuot and Hanukkah, the seed kernels, black cumin, sesame, mustard, rice, cumin, dried lupines, large-sized peas that are sold by measure, garlic, scallions of the city that are sold by measure, grape hyacinths, late-ripening dates, wine, [olive] oil, on the Seventh Year the seventh-year laws apply [to them]; on the [other] years of the seven-year cycle, they are tithed as demai-produce, and [if there was] a loaf of bread, the Dough portion (Heb. ḥallah) is always [separated from it].

§ 2  These are the places that are permitted in the vicinity of Beit She'an: southward, that is to say, [from] the Gate of Ḳumpōn extending as far as the White Field; from the west, that is to say, [from] the Gate of Zayara extending as far as the end of the pavement; from the north, that is to say, the Gate of Sakkūtha extending as far as Kefar Ḳarnos, while Kefar Ḳarnos [itself] is deemed as Beit She'an; and from the east, that is to say, the Gate of the Dung-spreaders extending as far as the monument of Fannuqatiah, while the Gate of Kefar Zimrin and the Gate of the marshland, in those places that are within the gate, [what is grown] is permitted, but beyond [the gate without, what is grown] is prohibited. The towns that are prohibited in the region of Sussitha (Hippos) [are as follows]: 'Ayyanosh, 'Ain-Ḥura, Dambar, 'Ayūn, Ya'arūṭ, Kefar Yaḥrīb, Nob, Ḥisfiyyah, Kefar Ṣemaḥ; now the Rabbi (Judah HaNasi) permitted Kefar Ṣemaḥ. The towns that are of a dubious nature in the region of Naveh [are as follows]: Ṣeir, Ṣayyer, Gashmai, Zayzūn, Renab and its ruin, Igorei Ḥoṭem, and the fortified city (kerakh) of the son of Harag.

§ 3  The towns that are prohibited in the region of Tyre [are as follows]: Shaṣat, Beṣet, Pi Maṣūbah, the Upper Ḥanūtha, the Lower Ḥanūtha, Bebarah, Rosh Mayya, 'Ammon, Mazih which is the Castle, and all which an Israelite has bought is prohibited.”

§ 4  The boundaries of the Land of Israel, [that is to say], the place h[eld] by those returning from Babylonia, [are as follows]: The passage of Ashkelon, the wall of Sharoshan Tower [of Caesarea], Dor, the wall of Akko, the source of the spring of Ǧiyāto and Ǧiyāto itself, Kabri[tha], [B]eit Zanitha, the Castle of Galilee, Quba'ya of Ayata, Mamṣiya of Yarkhetha, Miltha of Kurayim, Saḥratha of Yatī[r], [the riveri]ne brook of Baṣāl, Beit 'Ayit, Barashatha, Awali of Battah, the Gorge of 'Iyyon, Massab Sefanḥa, the walled city of B[ar-Sa]nnigora, the Upper Rooster of Caesarion, Beit Sabal, Ḳanat, Reḳam, Trachonitis, Zimra which is in the region of Buṣrah, Yanqah, Ḥeshbon, the brook of Zered, Igor Sahadutha, Nimrin, Melaḥ of Zayzah, Reḳam of Ǧayāh, the Gardens of Ashkelon and the great road that leads into the desert. These are the fruits that are prohibited in Paneas on the sabbatical-year, but in the remaining years of the seven-year cycle they are tithed entirely as demai-produce: Rice, walnuts, sesame, black-eyed peas, [and] there are those who also say early ripening Damascene plums, lo! These are [all] to be treated on the Seventh Year as seventh-year produce, but in the remaining years of the seven-year cycle they are tithed as produce that has certainly been left untithed, and even [had they been brought] from the Upper Rooster and beyond.

§ 5  These fruits are tithed as demai-produce in Caesarea: wheat and [if] bread stuffs the dough-portion is always removed, but as for wine and [olive] oil, dates, rice and cumin, lo! These are permitted during the Seventh Year in Caesarea, but on the remaining years of the seven-year cycle they are mended by separating [only] the demai tithe. Now there are some who prohibit [eating] white-petal grape hyacinths that come from the King's Mountain. Unto which place [is it considered] 'within the parameters' of Caesarea? Unto Ṣuwarnah and the Inn of Ṭabitha and [the Inn of] 'Amuda, and Dor and Kefar Saba, and if there is any place purchased by an Israelite, our masters (i.e. the rabbis) are apprehensive concerning it [i.e. in what concerns the requirement to separate tithes]. Shalom.

§ 6  The towns that are permitted in the region of Sebaste [are as follows]: Iḳbin, Kefar Kasdiya, 'Ir (sic), Azeilin, Shafīrīn, 'Ananin, the Upper Bal'am, Mazḥaru, Dothan, Kefar Maya, Shilta, Penṭāḳūmewatha, Libiya, Fardeseliya, Yaṣat, Arbanūrin, Kefar Yehūdit, Mūnarit, and half of Shelāf.
