רבי טרפון אומר:
יכולין הם ממזרים ליטהר.

English Translation

Rabbi Tarfon says:
Mamzers can be purified [from their status].
How is this?
A mamzer who married a (non-Jewish) maidservant, the child is a (non-Jewish) servant.
If they were freed, the son becomes a free [ordinary Jew].
Rabbi Eliezer says:
This [child] is a mamzer slave.
