המוליך. דוקא עבר והוליך, דלכתחילה אסור להוליכו ממקום למקום, אלא פודהו במקומו או מעלהו לירושלים:
כשער מקומו. כשער המקום שהוא בשעת פדיון בין לקולא בין לחומרא:
השבח לשני. מה ששוין בעיר יותר, הריוח של מעשר שני. ומה שהוציא להביאן מן השדה לעיר ישלם מביתו:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Maaser Sheni Perek 4 Mishnah 2
מעשר שני פרק ד׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
פודין מעשר שני – he can redeem it if he wants according to the cheap market price, as it explains further on.
לא כמות שהוא מוכר – that he sells it at a high price, at more than he had purchased it.
כמות שהשולחני פורט – one who comes to redeem pennies /Perutot of the [Second] Tithe by the Sela (= to two shekels, we calculate the Sela with many Perutot, like this money changer when he comes to purchase Perutot from people , and give to them a Selah that he purchases with many Perutot.
ולא כמות שהוא מצרף – when the money changer gives small change to people in exchange for a Selah (coin of larger value) , he gives them less.
אכסרה – [in a lump/measuring by sight] not by measure nor by weight, but rather how much he gives in this pile or these handfuls.
על פי אחד – with an estimation he takes one
על פי ג' – through experts in estimation, and even if one of them is an idolater, and even if one of them is an owner.
קרם – began to leaven/sour, and another reading is that it developed a pungent taste/soured/קסס – and an example of this is in Bava Batra 93b (also Tosefta Bava Batra 6:6): I accept upon myself ten casks of pungent wine for every one-hundred.
פודין מעשר שני. יכול לפדות אם ירצה כשער הזול, כדמפרש ואזיל:
כמות שהחנוני לוקח. שהוא לוקח בזול כדי להשתכר:
לא כמות שהוא מוכר. שהוא מוכר ביוקר ביותר ממה שקנה:
כמות שהשולחני פורט. הבא לחלל פרוטות של מעשר על סלע, מחשב הסלע בפרוטות הרבה, כשולחני הזה כשבא ליקח פרוטות מבני אדם ולתת להם סלע שהוא לוקח פרוטות הרבה:
ולא כמות שהוא מצרף. כשמצרף השולחני פרוטות לתת לבני אדם בחלוף הסלע, נותן להם פחות:
אכסרה. בלא מדה ובלא משקל, אלא כמה אתה נותן בכרי זה או במלוא חפנים הללו:
על פי א׳ בשומת לוקח אחד:
על פי ג׳ שמאים בקיאין, ואפילו א׳ מהן עובד כוכבים ואפילו אחד מהן בעלים:
קרם. התחיל להחמיץ, וגירסא אחרת שקסס. ודוגמתו בבבא בתרא [דף צג.] מקבל עליו עשר קוססות למאה:
