Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Negaim Perek 4 Mishnah 10
נגעים פרק ד׳ משנה י׳
Bartenura
בהרת כגריס ופשתה כגריס – we are speaking that it spread after the clearance/release [from impurity].
ר' עקיבא מטמא – for there is here a plague and the sign of defilement with it.
תיראה בתחלה – for even though that it should be examined anew, the Kohen should also declare it impure immediately. And the quick flesh and white hair defile at the beginning, nevertheless, the practical difference is that according to the Rabbis, he needs to bring a sacrifice for each and every one, but according to Rabbi Akiba it is considered like the first plague, and when it (i.e., the plague) falls away, he brings one sacrifice. And in all of these where Rabbi Akiba and the Sages disagree in our Mishnah, the Halakha is according to the Sages.
ואין בה כלום – it has no white hair.
ובה שערה אחת ונולדה בהרת וכו' הרי זו להסגיר – and even though the bright white spot in the flesh like a Cilician bean came first to the last hair, since it didn’t come before the first [hair], it has no effect, for we require that the bright white spot in the flesh precedes like a split Ciliican bean to the two hairs.
בהרת כחצי גריס ובה שתי שערות וכו' הרי זו להסגיר – and even though the one-half Cilician bean preceded the two hairs, it has no effect until the full split Cilician bean precedes the two hairs.
בהרת כגריס ופשתה כגריס. בשפשתה לאחר הפטור איירי:
ר׳ עקיבא מטמא. דיש כאן נגע וסימן טומאה עמו:
תיראה בתחילה. ואע״ג דכשתיראה בתחילה נמי יטמאנה הכהן מיד, דמחיה ושער לבן מטמאים בתחילה, מ״מ נפקא מינה דלרבנן בעי אתויי קרבן אכל חד וחד. ולרבי עקיבא כנגע ראשון חשוב, וכי מתסי מהאי מייתי חד קרבן. ובכל הנך דפליגי ר״ע וחכמים במתניתין, הלכה כחכמים:
ואין בה כלום. אין בה שער לבן:
ובה שערה אחת ונולדה בהרת כו׳ הרי זו להסגיר. ואע״פ שקדם כגריס בהרת לשער האחרון, כיון דלא קדמה את הראשון, לא מהני, דבעינן שתקדים כגריס בהרת לשתי השערות:
בהרת כחצי גריס ובה שתי שערות כו׳ הרי זו להסגיר. ואע״ג דחצי גריס הראשון קדם לשתי שערות, לא מהני, עד שיקדים הגריס שלם לשתי שערות:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

ופשתה כחצי גריס ועוד וכו'. רבי עקיבא מטמא – because the “and more”/"ועוד" that remains there from the spreading. And we are speaking about that it spread after the clearance/release.
וחכמים מטהרין – for since it went one-half of a split Cilician bean from the starting point of leprosy, it is not from a new plague but rather one-half of a split Cilician bean and more.
ופשתה כגריס ועוד – after the release [from uncleanness], and afterwards, the starting point of leprosy disappeared and there didn’t remain anything other than the new split Cilician bean and [a bit] more.
רבי עקיבא מטמא – for it spread for him from the first measurement. But the Rabbis hold, since it went on [further], the first is all of it, but this plague that is referred to is new, that it should be inspected anew and he should be shut up/isolated.
