1) [line 2] RABANAN TEKUNEI TAKINEI - the Rabanan instituted enactments 3) [line 4] HANHU KASVEI SHTAREI AKNAYASA - those writers of documents of Kinyan (documents of transfer of ownership which include the wording of a Kinyan; see Background to Bava Basra 136:12-13). This includes a Shtar of a gift, in which no Achrayus is written (and thus even if the Shtar is written after the date of the transaction, no harm will occur), or a Shtar of a sale, in which Achrayus is written (no harm will occur from such a Shtar being written after the transaction, because a sale becomes publicized at the time that it occurs through its witnesses, and thus if the land is taken away from the buyer by the seller's creditor, the buyer may lawfully take land from other buyers who purchased their land from the seller after the date of his own purchase).
4) [line 7] YOMA D'KAIMISU BEI - the day on which you are standing
6) [line 8] L'SAFREI - to his scribe 8) [line 10] V'AF AL GAV D'MESIRAN LECHU MILEI B'HINI - even though the instructions were given to you in the place called Hini (which is a twin-city of Shili) 9) [line 14] SHAVYEI NIHALI TREI, BENEI CHAMSHIN CHAMSHIN - make it (the Shtar for 100 Zuz) for me into two [Shtaros], each one for 50 [Zuz] 10) [line 16] D'NIFGAM SHETAREI - so that his Shtar will be blemished (when the creditor attempts to collect the outstanding 50 Zuz of his loan with a Shtar that says that 100 Zuz was loaned, he will have to make a Shevu'ah) 11) [line 17] SHAVINHU NIHALI CHAD BAR ME'AH - make them (the two Shtaros for 50 Zuz) for me into one [Shtar] of 100 [Zuz]
12a) [line 24] MERCHATZ - a bathhouse 13) [line 24] ASA'AN LI'SECHAR - if they were made for producing an income (by renting out)

21a) [line 1] AFILU ME'REISH GALUSA - [the words "from you" may imply] even
from the Reish Galusa, the Exilarch, the leader of the Jews in Babylon (and
thus the bearer of the Shtar may not collect from the borrower, since he
might not be the actual lender but merely might have found the Shtar in the
street) (RASHBAM's preferred explanation; see TOSFOS)
22a) [line 3] PUK AYEIN BAH - go out and look into the matter 23) [line 4] NAFAK DAK V'ASHKACH - (lit. he went out, checked and found) he checked into the sources and found the following Beraisa

Yosef ben Shimon) [and then was found by one specific person (such as
another person named Yosef ben Shimon) (RASHBAM; see RABEINU CHANANEL cited
by Rashbam, and see TOSFOS)]
