*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, the Tzon
Kodshim 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 the
Gemara and Rashi)

[1] Gemara 5a [line 3]:
The word "*d'Milsa*"
should be "*Milsa*" (as it appears on 56a and elsewhere)

[2] Rashi 5a DH l'Olam Ika:
The words "she'Higi'u l'Me'ah ka'Chashiv *bi'Chelalei*"
should be "she'Higi'u l'Me'ah ka'Chashiv *be'Kikarei*"
(as Rashi repeats later)
