Bartenura
שום בעל בכי – pungent garlic that he who consumes it cries and his eyes flow with tears. But it appears to me that it is garlic that grows in Mount Lebanon, for they call Lebanon in Arabic by that language.
רכפא – name of a place.
גריסין הקילקין – pounded beams that come from Sicily, the name of a place, and they are square, as it is taught in [Tractate] Negaim (Chapter 4, Mishnayot 8-10): “like the square Sicilian pounded bean.
ועדשים המצריות – it has one sharp head, and these species are desert-like and their presumption is that they are ownerless because they are not sewn in a garden. Therefore, they are exempt from tithing.
אף הקורקס – in Arabic KALKAS, and it is a kind of the species of carob.
הקוטנם – from the species of lentils, and the Halakha is according to the anonymous Mishnah.
ונלקחים מכל אדם – even from those who are suspected of selling Seventh-year produce.
זרע הלוף העליון – I heard the [edible] leaves of the wild colocasia/LOF/arum – trained for the leaves (similar to colocasia, with edible leaves and root, and bearing beans) but the seed of the LOF that is regular is liable [for tithing]. And Maimonides explains that this Mishnah is transposed/not in order regarding the higher pods of arum, and arum/LOF is from the species of onions.
שאע"פ שאביהן תרומה – even though that one of each of these which are garden seeds which are not eat, which are heave-offering/Terumah, and their seeds, the large ones are eaten, and we don’t state that hose which grow as Terumah/heave offering are Terumah, but rather, that the seed sewn is from things that are appropriate for eating.
שאביהן – the seed, which is the “father” to that which grew from it.
שום בעל בכי. שום חריף שהאוכלו בוכה ועיניו זולגות דמעות. ול״נ שום הגדל בהר הלבנון, שכן בערבי קורין ללבנון בע״ל:
רכפא. שם מקום:
גריסין הקילקין. גריסין של פול הבאים מן הקלקי, שם מקום, והן מרובעות כדתנן בנגעים כגריס הקלקי המרובע:
ועדשים המצריות. ראשן אחד חד, והמינין הללו כולם הם מדבריות וחזקתן מן ההפקר לפי שאינן נזרעים בגינה, לפיכך פטורים מן המעשרות:
אף הקורקס. בערבי קלקא״ס, והוא מין ממיני הכרוב:
הקוטנים. ממיני העדשים. והלכה כסתם משנה:
ונלקחים מכל אדם. אף מן החשודים למכור פירות שביעית:
זרע הלוף העליון. אני שמעתי הלוף השוטה. אבל זרע הלוף הפקח חייב. ורמב״ם פי׳ שהמשנה מסורסת זרע העליון של לוף. ולוף הוא ממיני הבצלים:
שאע״פ שאביהן תרומה. אע״פ שאחד מכל אלו זרעוני גינה שאינם נאכלים הן תרומה. וזרען, הרי הגדולים נאכלין. ולא אמרינן גדולי תרומה תרומה אלא כשהזרע הזרוע הוא מדברים הראויין לאכילה:
שאביהן. הזרע. שהוא אב למה שגדל ממנו:
