Menahem ben Signai testified concerning the ledge attached to an olive-boiler’s cauldron, that it is [liable to become] impure; and concerning that of dyers, that it is not [liable to become] impure, whereas they used to say the reverse.
הֵעִיד מְנַחֵם בֶּן סִגְנַאי עַל מוּסַף הַיּוֹרָה שֶׁל שׁוֹלְקֵי זֵיתִים שֶׁהוּא טָמֵא, וְשֶׁל צַבָּעִים שֶׁהוּא טָהוֹר. שֶׁהָיוּ אוֹמְרִים חִלּוּף הַדְּבָרִים:

מוסף היורה של שולקי זיתים. דרך שולקי זיתים וצבעים, שיש להם יורות גדולות ועושים להם תוספת טיט על שפתם שיעלו בה המים בעת רתיחתם. ושל שולקי זיתים טמא, לפי שאותה תוספת צריכה לכלי ומשתמשין בה, והתורה אמרה גבי תנור וכירים (ויקרא י״א:ל״ה) וטמאים יהיו לכם. ודרשינן לכם, כל שבצרכיכם, כלומר הדבר מן הכלי שאתם צריכים לו ומשתמשין בו הוא שמקבל טומאה:
ושל צבעים טהור. שאין הצבעים משתמשים באותה תוספת לפי שיראים שמא יפסד צבעם:

Mishnayos Eduyos Perek 7 Mishnah 9
עדיות פרק ז׳ משנה ט׳
Rabbi Nehunia ben Gudgada testified concerning a deaf-mute whose father had given her in marriage, that she could be sent away with a bill of divorcement; And concerning a minor, daughter of an Israelite who married a priest, that she could eat terumah, and if she died her husband inherited from her; And concerning a stolen beam that had been built into a palace, that it might be restored by the payment of its value; And concerning a sin-offering that had been stolen, and this was not known to many, that it caused atonement because of the welfare of the altar.
הֵעִיד רַבִּי נְחוּנְיָא בֶן גֻּדְגְּדָא עַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת שֶׁהִשִּׂיאָהּ אָבִיהָ, שֶׁהִיא יוֹצְאָה בְגֵט. וְעַל קְטַנָּה בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנִּשֵּׂאת לְכֹהֵן, שֶׁהִיא אוֹכֶלֶת בַּתְּרוּמָה, וְאִם מֵתָה, בַּעְלָהּ יוֹרְשָׁהּ. וְעַל הַמָּרִישׁ הַגָּזוּל שֶׁבְּנָאוֹ בַבִּירָה, שֶׁיִּתֵּן אֶת דָּמָיו. וְעַל הַחַטָּאת הַגְּזוּלָה שֶׁלֹּא נוֹדְעָה לָרַבִּים, שֶׁהִיא מְכַפֶּרֶת, מִפְּנֵי תִקּוּן הַמִּזְבֵּחַ:
Bartenura
על החרשת שהשיאה אבות (this section of the Mishnah is also taught in Tractate Gittin, Chapter 4, Mishnah 5; this part of the Mishnah is also taught in Tractate Yevamot, Chapter 14, Mishnah 2) – even though she is a completely married woman, for her father received her betrothal when she was a small girl/minor, even so, she is divorced with a Jewish bill of divorce, and she receives her Jewish bill of divorce when she is a deaf-mute, and even though she lacks knowledge, because a woman can be divorced against her will. Therefore, we do not require her knowledge.
ועל קטנה בת ישראל שנשאת לכהן – and she is an orphan and her marriage was not other than from the Rabbis, and she eats priest’s due from the Rabbis and we don’t make the decree regarding priest’s due of the Rabbis because of the priest’s due of the Torah.
מריש – beam
בירה – large house
מפני תקנת השבים – for if we would require him to take down the entire group of buildings and to return the beam itself, he might be prevented from repenting.
שלא נודעה לרבים – which is stolen
שהיא מכפרת – and there is no need to bring another.
מפני תיקון מזבח – the there would not be sad Kohanim when they ate non-sacred food that was slaughtered in the Temple courtyard. And it is found that the altar is void for they are prevented from performing the Divine Worship.
על החרשת שהשיאה אביה. אע״ג דהויא אשת איש גמורה שהרי קיבל אביה קידושיה כשהיא קטנה, אפילו הכי יוצאה בגט ומקבלת את גיטה כשהיא חרשת, ואע״פ שאין לה דעת, לפי שהאשה מתגרשת בעל כרחה הלכך לא בעינן דעתה:
ועל קטנה בת ישראל שנישאת לכהן. והיא יתומה דלא היו נשואיה אלא מדרבנן. שאוכלת בתרומה, דרבנן. ולא גזרינן תרומה דרבנן אטו תרומה דאורייתא:
מריש. קורה:
בירה. בית גדול:
מפני תקנת השבים. שאם אתה מצריכו לקעקע בירתו ולהחזיר מריש עצמו, ימנע מלעשות תשובה:
שלא נודעה לרבים. שהיא גזולה:
שהיא מכפרת. ואין צריך להביא אחרת:
מפני תיקון מזבח. שלא יהיו כהנים עצבים שאכלו חולין שנשחטו בעזרה, ונמצא מזבח בטל שנמנעים מלעבוד עבודה:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

מוסף היורה של שולקי זיתים – it is the manner of those who seethe olives and dyers who have large boilers and make for them additional plaster on their rims so that they will bring forth water at the time of their boiling. That of those who seethe olives is ritually impure, because that supplement is necessary for the utensil and it is used, and the Torah stated concerning the oven and portable stoves on feet (Leviticus 11:35): “an oven or stove shall be smashed. They are unclean and unclean they shall remain for you.” And they (i.e., the Rabbis) expound upon the word לכם/”for you,” everything that they need, that is a substance from the utensil that one you need it for and use it – that it receives defilement.
ושל צבעים טהור – for dyers do not use the same supplement since they are fearful lest they lose their color.
