(Mishnah): Nor (does the sale of a house) include the pit or stone-walled pit, even though he wrote in the sale document, that he is selling "its lower and higher parts''.

R. Akiva: If the seller wishes to reach his pit (that was not part of the sale), he must pay for access, since the sale included all of the field (even the section that is now needed for the owner to be able to walk to his pit).

Chachamim: He does not need to pay (as his sale did not include the area of this path).

R. Akiva agrees that if he explicitly excluded the pit and stone-walled pit in the sale document, he does not need to pay the buyer for access.

If the seller sold the pit to someone else, R. Akiva says that the new pit owner does not need to buy the access path from the new house owner.

Chachamim: He does need to buy it.

(Gemara) - question: If the sale does not include the pit, what was the purpose of the seller writing, "its lower and higher parts'' into the document?

Answer: So that if the buyer wishes to dig his own pits etc., he is permitted; otherwise, he would not be permitted.

Rabbah bar Rav Huna citing Rav: The Halachah follows R. Akiva in our Mishnah, which is also found in the Beraisa of R. Chiya.

R. Zeira/ Rav Yirmiyah citing Rav: The Halachah follows R. Akiva, because in R. Chiya's Beraisa, the names of R. Akiva and Rabbanan are switched (as will be clear from the continuation of the Gemara).
