Berachos 62

***************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] Gemara 62a [line 27]:
"Abaye, Meravya Lei *Imei* Imra"
Even though the word *Imei* is in brackets, it is found in Dikdukei Sofrim,
Beis Nasan and Or Zaru'a. It is evident that Rashi DH Meravya also had this
Girsa (Notes to Dikdukei Sofrim #50)

[2] Gemara 62a [line 34]:
"Sha'ani *Ochlei* Taharos d'Akilu b'Hu Rabanan"
In Beis Nasan and Or Zaru'a, the Girsa is "Hacha Nami b'Taharos Heikeilu",
which follows the style of the previous answer of the Gemara, and this
appears to be the correct Girsa.

[3] Gemara 62b [line 24]:
The words "ha'Hu *Parsa'ah*"
should be "ha'Hu *Roma'ah*"
(This is the Girsa in Dikdukei Sofrim and all early printings)
