***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Torah Or 57a:
The words Mishley 7
should be Mishley 2:3
the words Mishley 6
should be Mishley 7:4

[2] Gemara 57b [line 15]:
Rebbi *Yishmael Ben Elisha* Yid'ag Min ha'Pur'anus
In Avos d'Rebbi Nasan, the Girsa is Rebbi *Akiva* (Hagahos Rebbi Elazar Landau)

[3] Gemara 57b [line 23]:
"Kol Minei *Ofos* Yafin l'Chalom Chutz Min Karya v'Kipofa *v'Kurperai*'
The Girsa in Dikdukei Sofrim #8 is "Kol Minei *Sheratzim* Yafin l'Chalom
Chutz *mi'Kurperai* v'Chol Minei Ofos Yafin l'Chalom Chutz mi'Karya v'Kipofa"

It is clear that this was Rashi's Girsa also, since he translates Kurperai
as "talpe", which is a mole. He uses the same Old French word to translate
Kurperai in Chulin 63a, when the Gemara classifies Kurperai as a type of Sheretz.

[4] Gemara 57b [line 40]:
The words "Mafrin *u'Mavrin*"
The Girsa in Dikdukei Sofrim and the Aruch is "Mafrin *u'Marbin*"
However, in Beis Nasan and the Soncino Printing, the Girsa is
"Mafrin *u'Marbin u'Mavrin*", like the Girsa in the Gemara 40a. This
appears to be Rashi's Girsa, also.
