אפילו גבוה מאה אמה. אע״ג דזיז שיעור גובהו מן הפתח שנים עשר טפחים, בקנה החמירו משום דמיטלטל. ורבי יוחנן בן נורי סבר דאין להחמיר בקנה יותר מן הזיז, ולמעלה משנים עשר טפחים שיעורו בפותח טפח. והלכה כרבי יוחנן בן נורי:

אהלות פרק י"ד משנה ד׳
Bartenura
זיז – which is a handbreadth wide and surrounds all the walls of the house from the outside, and opposite the opening/door extends three fingerbreadths, but on the rest of the opening/door, there is no projection. For if there was an extension opposite the opening/door of a handbreadth, the house would be impure according to the words of everyone.
כלים שתחתיו טמאים – in this Rabbi Yehoshua does not dispute as he disputes in the concluding clause [of the Mishnah], because it is the manner of defilement to depart/go out.
רבי אליעזר מטמא את הבית – because the projection is stringent that it defiles in any amount, it brings defilement to the house with three fingerbreadths.
וכן בחצר שהיא מוקפת אכסדרה – but the covered place in front of the house/parlor extends three finger breadths, [if] defilement is in the house, vessels that are in the parlor are impure. [If] defilement is in the parlor, Rabbi Eliezer declares the house to be impure. But Rabbi Yehoshua declares it to be pure. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yehoshua.
זיז. שהוא רחב טפח וסובב את כל כותלי הבית מבחוץ, וכנגד הפתח אוכל שלש אצבעות ועל שאר הפתח אין זיז. שאם היה אוכל כנגד הפתח טפח היה הבית טמא לדברי הכל:
כלים שתחתיו טמאים. בהא לא פליג רבי יהושע כדפליג בסיפא, לפי שדרך טומאה לצאת:
רבי אליעזר מטמא את הבית. כיון דזיז חמור שמטמא בכל שהוא, מביא את הטומאה לבית בשלש אצבעות:
וכן בחצר שהיא מוקפת אכסדרה. והאכסדרה אוכלת בפתח שלש אצבעות, טומאה בבית, כלים שבאכסדרה טמאים. טומאה באכסדרה, ר׳ אליעזר מטמא הבית, ורבי יהושע מטהר. והלכה כר׳ יהושע:

אפילו גבוה מאה אמה – even if the projection, the measurement of its height from the opening is twelve handbreadths, with a reed they were stringent because it is carried.
