Bava Metzia 119: Roots and Leaves
A last mishnah! On divided properties, including gardens, when one is above the other - who owns the produce? Unusually, the mishnah explains the rationale of the disputants' different views here, and the garden's nourishment from above. Also: one who can reach out one's hand to take produce is allowed to take the produce, but what if he can only reach the roots or only the leaves? Plus, the Persian king Shapur, who likes R. Shimon's approach (he seems to have liked Jewish law... might he have been Shmuel?).

Bava Metzia 117: I Did Not Sign Up for This
More on the upstairs/downstairs neighbors, who share maintenance and the like. Including issues of when a tenant would move in with the landlord (or in place of him). What terms can be presumed to remain in place when issues crop up? Plus, a new mishnah about such a building collapsing and what happens when only the upper owner wants to rebuild. And Rabbi Yehudah's 3 examples of not taking advantage of another party's monetary goods.

Bava Metzia 114: A Graveyard visit with Eliyahu
Rabah bar Avuha meets Eliyahu and asks three questions. The daf returns to its discussion of collateral and almost seems to undermine the concept.
