Orach Chayim Siman 385 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 4 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.
What to track
Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.
Study lens
Look for a turn toward a more precise resolution, Shabbat law and sacred time. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

Original text
<b>דין צדוקי ומומר בעירוב. ובו ד סעיפים:</b><br>צדוקי הרי הוא כישראל ומבטל רשות אבל עירוב אינו מועיל כיון שאינו מודה בעירוב:
Laws of Sadducee and apostates in eruv. Containing 4 paragraphs. A Sadducee is like a Jew and can nullify his domain, but an eruv is not effective since he does not acknowledge the validity of eruv.
כותי הרי הוא כשאר עכו"ם ואין לו תקנה אלא בשכירות:
A Samaritan is like other non-Jews, and has no remedy except through rental [of his domain].
ישראל מומר לעבודת אלילים או לחלל שבתות בפרהסיא אפילו אינו מחללו אלא באיסור דרבנן הרי הוא כעכו"ם ואם אינו מחלל אלא בצינע' אפילו מחללו באיסור דאוריית' הרי הוא כישראל ומבטל רשות:
A Jew who has apostatized to idolatry, or who desecrates the Sabbath publicly — even if he violates only a rabbinic prohibition — is like a non-Jew. But if he violates only in private, even a Torah prohibition, he is like a Jew and can nullify his domain.
ישראל שהמיר והיו לו בתים בשכונת ישראל שעירבו לכל השנה אם אין לו פתח אחר כלל הוא אוסר בכל שבת שחל לאחר שהמיר אבל אם יש לו פתח אחר לשכונת העכו"ם אפילו הוא פתח קטן שלא היה רגיל בו מתחיל' דוחין אותו אצל פתח הפתוח לשכונת העכו"ם:
A Jew who converted [to another religion] and had houses in a Jewish courtyard that made an eruv for the entire year: if he has no other entrance at all, he prohibits [carrying] on every Sabbath that occurs after his conversion. But if he has another entrance to a non-Jewish courtyard — even a small opening that he did not initially use regularly — we push him toward the entrance that opens to the non-Jewish courtyard.
