משנה: עָלְתָה חֲזָזִית עַל רוּבּוֹ נִיטְּלָה פִיטְמָתוֹ נִיקַּב נִקְלַף נִסְדַּק חָסַר כָּל שֶׁהוּא פָּסוּל. עָלְתָה חֲזָזִית עַל מִעוּטוֹ נִיטַּל עוּקְצוֹ נִיקַּב וְלֹא חָסַר כָּל שֶׁהוּא כָּשֵׁר. אֶתְרוֹג הַכּוּשִׁי פָּסוּל. הַיָרוֹק כְּכַרְתָן רִבִּי מֵאִיר מַכְשִׁיר וְרִבִּי יְהוּדָה פּוֹסֵל:
MISHNAH: If scabs covered most of it80The etrog., or its protuberance was removed, or it was perforated, or peeled, or cracked, if anything was missing it is disqualified. If scabs covered a smaller part, or the stem was removed, or it was perforated but nothing was missing, it is qualified. A black etrog is disqualified, and the green like leeks Rebbi Meïr qualifies but Rebbi Jehudah disqualifies.

הלכה: רִבִּי יִצְחָק בַּר נַחְמָן בְּשֵׁם שְׁמוּאֵל. כְּל הַפְּסוּלִין אֵינָן פּוֹסְלִין אֶלָּא בְיוֹם טוֹב הָרִאשׁוֹן בִּלְבַד. תַּמָּן אָמְרִין. רוּבּוֹ מִצַּד אֶחָד. חוֹטְמוֹ כְרוּבּוֹ לִפְסוֹל.
HALAKHAH: Rebbi Isaac bar Naḥman in the name of Samuel: All disqualifications only disqualify on the first day of the holiday81When the standards have to be biblical. Quoted by Tosaphot 35b s. v. עלתה.. There, they are saying, most of it on one side; its protuberance is disqualifying like most of it82The etrog is disqualified if either on one side most of it is covered by scab, as noted here, or if all around it has infected spots, as noted in the next Halakhah. Therefore if the top was covered by scab it is covered on all sides and therefore disqualified..

נִיטְּלָה פִיטְמָתוֹ. תַּמָּן אָמְרִין. שׁוֹשַׁנְתּוֹ. רִבִּי יִצְחָק בַּר חֲקוּלָא אָמַר. פִּיקָא. נִּיקֵּב וְלֹא פִילֵּשׁ מִבִּפְנִים כָּשֵׁר. כַּהִיא דְתַנִּינָן תַּמָּן. נִיטַּל עוּקְצוֹ נִיקַּב וְלֹא חָסַר כָּל שֶׁהוּא כָּשֵׁר.
“If its protuberance was removed.” There, they say: its lily. Rebbi Isaac bar Ḥaqula said, the peak83Arabic פוק “acme”. The etrog has to beheld so that the protuberance is the top.. If it was perforated but not pierced inside it is qualified, as we have stated there, “if the stem was removed, or it was perforated but nothing was missing, it is qualified.”

אֶתְרוֹג הַכּוּשִׁי פָּסוּל. הַבָּא מִן הַכּוּשִׁי כָשֵׁר.
“A black etrog is disqualified.” What comes from the black one is qualified84The black etrog is infected and probably inedible; its seeds may produce normal trees and normal fruit..

הַיָרוֹק כְּכַרְתָן. רִבִּי זְעוּרָה בְעָא קוֹמֵי רִבִּי אִימִּי. כָּהֵן כָּרְתִּינוֹן אוֹ דְדָמִי לָהֶן כָּרְתִּינוֹן. אֲמַר לֵיהּ. כָּהֵין כָּרְתִּינָן. אֵי זֶהוּ יְרַקְרַק שֶׁבִּירוֹקִים. רִבִּי לָעְזָר אוּמֵר. כְּשַׁעְוָה וּכְשׁוֹשַׁנַּת קַרְמָל. סוּמֲכוֹס אָמַר. כַּכַנְפֵי טַוָוס. אֵי זֶהוּ אֲדַמְדָּם שֶׁבָּאֲדוֹמֵים. זֶה זְהוֹרִית עֲמוּקָה. וָכָא הוּא אָמַר הָכֵין. אָמַר רִבִּי פִינְחָס. שַׁנְיָיא הִיא תַּמָּן דִּכְתִיב יְרַקְרַק.
“The green like leeks.” Rebbi Ze`ira asked before Rebbi Immi: Leek-colored or like leek-colored85Somewhat less dark.? He told him, leek-colored. What is the deepest ירק86Lev. 13:49, cf. Sifra Tazria Pereq 14(2).? Rebbi Eleazar said, like wax87Yellow colored. In biblical Hebrew both green and yellow are subsumed under ירק. The word used in modern Hebrew for yellow, צָהוֹב, biblically means “shiny, shiny red.” and like the flower of the qarmal tree; Symmachos says, like a peacock’s wings. What is the deepest red? That is deep crimson. And here, he says so88Why is it green for the etrog but yellow for skin disease?? Rebbi Phineas said, there is a difference there because it says, deepest green.
