29) [line 5] SHETAREI EIRUSIN V'NISU'IN - documents of Eirusin and Nisu'in. According to some (Kesuvos 102b), a Shtar Eirusin is a document containing the words, "Harei At Mekudeshes Li" ("Behold you are betrothed to me"). One of the ways to betroth a woman is to hand her such a document (Mishnah Kidushin 2a). According to others (and according to the way the RASHBAM explains the Mishnah here), a Shtar Eirusin is a Shtar Pesikta, a document that states how much each of the in-laws agree to give for their children's marriage (RITVA). A Shtar Nisu'in is the Kesuvah, describing the obligations of the husband towards the wife, and of the wife towards the husband.

30) [line 7] SHTAR ARISUS V'KABLANUS - a document of Arisus or Kablanus. Arisus refers to an arrangement between a landowner and a sharecropper, wherein the sharecropper receives a percentage of the produce of the field each year, paying the rest to the landowner. Kablanus refers to an arrangement wherein the sharecropper pays a fixed amount per year to the landowner, regardless of how much or how little the field produces.

31) [line 9] SHETAREI BEIRURIN - (lit. documents of clarification, or documents of selections) (a) according to the first explanation in the Gemara (168a), this refers to documents in which the claims of each litigant are recorded (so that the litigants cannot change their claims in the middle of the case); (b) according to the second explanation of the Gemara (ibid.), this refers to documents which record the litigants' voluntary selection of judges to hear their case.
