17) [line 21] MA'ALOS BEIS MARON - the ascent of Beis Maron, which was a
narrow path up a very steep slope, on which people would walk single file
18) [line 23] RERUSH HA'RABIM L'TUM'AH (SAFEK TUM'AH B'RESHUSH HA'RABIM)
(a) When there is a doubt as to whether an object is Tahor or Tamei, if the
object is found in Reshus ha'Rabim the object is Tahor. If it is found in a
private, concealed place, it is judged to be Tamei.
(b) This is learned from the case of the Sotah woman (Bamidbar 5; see
Background to Berachos 63, #6). In the case of a Sotah, where only two
people were about at the time that there arose a question as to her status,
she is judged Tamei/culpable. Similarly, whenever there are only two people
present (i.e. Reshus ha'Yachid l'Tum'ah), if a doubt arises regarding the
status of an object it is judged to be Tamei. Whenever more than two people
frequent a certain area (i.e. Reshus ha'Rabim l'Tum'ah), if a doubt arises
regarding the status of an object it is judged to be Tahor.

(Beis Gilgal was apparently a winding path encircling a steep mountain.
mountain rose more than 10 Tefachim per 4 Amos, and therefore should be a
Reshus ha'Yachid, since the sides of the mountain are seen as its Mechitzos.
21) [line 36] SERADYOT - a Roman or Greek officer
22) [last line] CHAGURAH - a periphery of ropes
