1) [line 1] LEFI SHE'EIN LEMEIDIN - because we disregard any information [that is written in the last line of a Shtar. Since the witnesses often leave a space between their signatures and the text of the Shtar, the Chachamim enacted that we disregard any information written in the last line (the line before the signatures) of the Shtar, since it is easy for a deceitful person to add whatever he wants in that blank line.]

5) [line 1] SHITAH U'MECHETZAH - one and a half lines [between the text of the Shtar and the signatures of the witnesses]. (The Gemara's question refers to the *height* of one and a half lines. It is not referring to the writing area of a line and a half of a line, such as a sentence that concluded on the first half of a line, leaving the remaining part of that line blank, plus the next blank line.) 6) [line 5] ME'HA LEIKA L'MISHMA - from this [Beraisa] we cannot infer anything 7) [line 6] MAI HAVEI ALAH? - What is the conclusion with regard to this (if the signatures are separated from the text of the Shtar by one and a half lines, is the Shtar invalid)? 8) [line 11] MIL'AHU BI'KEROVIM - if he filled it with [the signatures of] relatives (according to the RASHBAM's preferred explanation, this refers to a case in which two (or more) lines were left blank between the text of the Shtar and the signatures of the witnesses. In order to remove those two blank lines, the bearer of the Shtar had his relatives sign their names in that space.)
9) [line 12] V'AL TISMAH! - and do not be perplexed [about this ruling]!
11) [line 13] SECHACH PASUL POSEL B'ARBA'AH (SUKAH) - invalid Sechach in the

Tefachim wide
