Eruvin 24A

בטיל ליה לגבי רובה, והוה ליה קרפף יותר מבית סאתים ⁠— ואסור.

is nullified relative to the greater part, and it is as though the karpef were entirely sown. And therefore, it is regarded as a karpef greater than two beit se’a, in which it is prohibited to carry.

אלא אי איתמר הכי איתמר: הא מיעוטא ⁠— שרי. אמר רב הונא בריה דרב יהושע: לא אמרן אלא דלא הוי בית סאתים, אבל בית סאתים ⁠— אסור.

Rather, if this was stated, this is what was stated by Rav Huna, son of Rav Yehoshua: If the greater part of the karpef was sown, it is prohibited to carry within it. It follows that if only a minor part of the karpef was sown, it is permitted to carry within it. Rav Huna, son of Rav Yehoshua, said: We said that it is permitted to carry only if the sown section is not as large as two beit se’a, however, if it is at least two beit se’a, it is prohibited to carry anywhere in the karpef, even though most of it is not sown.

כמאן? כרבנן.

The Talmud asks: According to whose opinion was this stated? It is according to the opinion of the Rabbis, who disagree with R' Shimon and say that a karpef and a courtyard are regarded as separate domains, so that it is prohibited to carry from one to the other.

ורב ירמיה מדיפתי מתני לקולא: הא מיעוטא ⁠— שרי, אמר רב הונא בריה דרב יהושע: לא אמרן אלא בית סאתים, אבל יותר מבית סאתים ⁠— אסור. כמאן? כרבי שמעון.

And Rav Yirmeya from Difti would teach this matter as a leniency, as follows: It was stated that if the greater part of the karpef was sown, it is prohibited to carry within it. From here it follows that if only a minor part was sown, it is permitted to carry within it. Rav Huna, son of Rav Yehoshua said: We only said that it is permitted to carry if the sown section is not more than two beit se’a, but if it is more than two beit se’a, it is prohibited to carry. According to whose opinion was this stated? It was according to the opinion of R' Shimon.
