1) [line 1] NICHPEH - a woman who is an epileptic

2) [line 22] AREV V'TZIDON V'RA'AYAH ACHRONAH - The Halachah follows the opinion of Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel whenever his opinion is quoted in the Mishnah, except in these three cases:

(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. Rabban 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 74b): 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. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel maintains that she may give the value of the robe and the Get will be effective.
(c) RAA'YAH ACHRONAH (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.) Rabban 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.
