2) [line 4] AFILU HEN AVUDIN - even if they are being consumed by mice and/or decay

3) [line 4] LO YIGA BAHEN - he should not touch them, i.e. sell them
4) [line 7] ROTZEH ADAM B'KAV SHELO MI'TISH'AH KABIN SHEL CHAVEIRO - a person would rather have his own Kav measure (a small amount -- see Background to Bava Kama 91:42 for a list of measurements of volume) [of anything] than someone else's nine Kav measures [of the same item]

5) [line 9] SHEMA ASA'AN HA'MAFKID TERUMAH U'MA'ASER AL MAKOM ACHER (TERUMAH \ MA'ASER RISHON \ MA'ASER SHENI \ MA'ASER ANI)
(a) After a crop that is grown in Eretz Yisrael is harvested and brought to the owner's house or yard, he must separate Terumah Gedolah from the crop and give it to a Kohen. Although the Torah does not specify the amount to be given, the Rabanan set the requirement at one fiftieth of the total crop. After Terumah is removed from the produce, one tenth of the produce that remains must be designated "Ma'aser Rishon," and given to a Levi. The Levi, in turn, must separate one tenth of his Ma'aser Rishon as Terumas Ma'aser, to be given to a Kohen, as it states in Bamidbar 18:26.
(b) The produce may not be eaten until both Terumos have been removed, and it is known as Tevel. The punishment for eating Tevel is Misah b'Yedei Shamayim.
(c) A second tithe is given every year after Ma'aser Rishon has been separated. The tithe that is separated in the third and sixth years of the 7-year Shemitah cycle is called Ma'aser Ani and is given to the poor.
(d) The tithe that is separated during the first, second, fourth and fifth years is called *Ma'aser Sheni*. The Torah requires that Ma'aser Sheni be brought and eaten by its owner in Yerushalayim.
(e) Alternatively, Ma'aser Sheni produce may be redeemed, in which case the money used to redeem it is brought to Yerushalayim. If the owner himself redeems the produce, he must add an additional *fifth* (of the ensuing total, or a *quarter* of the original value). The food that is bought with this money in Yerushalayim becomes Kodesh like Ma'aser Sheni and must be eaten b'Taharah. Ma'aser Sheni that was redeemed by anyone besides the owner is exempt from the additional fifth.

6) [line 19] BI'CHDEI CHESRONAN - their usual amount of natural loss (as described in the Mishnah in Bava Metzia 40a)

10) [line 37] MEKAMEI D'HAVU LEHU YOSER MI'CHEDEI CHESRONAN AVID LEHU - he would make them Terumah on other produce before their loss exceeds the usual amount of natural loss

23a) [line 12] KOL MAKOM SHE'SHANAH RASHBA"G B'MISHNASEINU, HALACHAH K'MOSO - every place in the Mishnayos in which Raban Shimon ben Gamliel teaches [his opinion], the Halachah follows his opinion

b) [line 14] CHUTZ ME'AREV V'TZIDON V'RA'AYAH ACHARONAH - except for the cases of Arev (a guarantor), Tzidon (the city of Sidon) and Ra'ayah Acharonah (the latter case of proof), as follows:

(a) AREV (Bava Basra 173b-174a): The Chachamim rule that a loan may be given on the condition that the creditor can collect from the debtor's guarantor (Arev Kablan) before first going to the debtor. Raban Shimon ben Gamliel rules that if the debtor has property, the creditor must collect from him, even if the loan was given under the above conditions.
(b) TZIDON (Gitin 74a): It occurred once in Tzidon that a man said to his wife, "This will be a valid Get (bill of divorce) on condition that you bring to me my robe," and then the robe was lost. According to the Rabanan, the Get is annulled and void. Raban Shimon ben Gamliel maintains that she may give the value of the robe and the Get will be effective.
(c) RA'AYAH ACHARONAH (Sanhedrin 31a): The Chachamim rule that a litigant, after being instructed in Beis Din to prove his case, who says, "I do not have any proof," may not use any proof that he may subsequently find as valid evidence. (Since he already admitted to not having proof, we suspect that the documents that he brings afterwards may be forged.) Raban Shimon ben Gamliel rules that we acknowledge the possibility that he did not know about the evidence for his case at the moment that he said he did not have proof, and he may therefore use the proof he subsequently finds as valid evidence. (The Mishnah previously quoted a ruling of Raban Shimon ben Gamliel with regard to a *different* case involving proof in which the Halachah *does* follow his opinion. Hence the latter case is known as "Ra'ayah Acharonah.")
