אֵין כּוֹתְבִין פְּרוֹזְבּוּל אֶלָּא עַל הַקַּרְקַע
Mishnah שביעית י׳:ו׳ · Sheviis 10:6
אֵין כּוֹתְבִין פְּרוֹזְבּוּל אֶלָּא עַל הַקַּרְקַע.
אִם אֵין לוֹ, מְזַכֶּה הוּא בְּתוֹךְ שָׂדֵהוּ כָּל שֶׁהוּא.
הָיְתָה לוֹ שָׂדֶה מְמֻשְׁכֶּנֶת בָּעִיר, כּוֹתְבִין עָלֶיהָ פְּרוֹזְבּוּל.

what does this mean?

A reading aid, not an exact translation.

Transcript
A machine transcript of the recorded shiur.

This is the shiur as spoken, transcribed automatically and left unedited — the wording is Ephraim's, and occasional transcription errors remain. It follows the audio word by word.
