(c) Ila used to take four Isros for examining a Beheimah Dakah.
How much would he take for a Beheimah Gasah?

(d) How much did he take if the Beheimah turned out to be a Tam?

(a) Why did Ila take more for inspecting a Beheimah Gasah than for a Beheimah Dakah?

(b) Why did he take the same payment for a Tam as for a Ba'al-Mum?

(c) Why are we not then afraid that whenever he ruled that it was a Tam, it would be having in mind to charge the owner again the next time the Bechor obtained a blemish?

(a) What does the Tana rule in the case of a Dayan who accepts payment for his rulings, or of a witness in order to testify?

(a) What does the Beraisa say about someone (even a Yisrael, though usually, it was Kohanim who dealt with the needs of the Parah Adumah [see Tosfos DH 'ha'Mekadesh']) who betroths a woman with 'Mei Chatas' or with 'Eifer Chatas'?

(c) And how do we extrapolate this from the different Lashon used by the Beraisa that that used by the Mishnah?

What that?

(c) According to Rav Yehudah Amar Rav, under what condition is a Kohen permitted to cross such a field?

(d) Then why is he not permitted to eat Terumah?

What is the significance of this statement?

(b) What alternative answer do we give to avoid having to establish the Mishnah by a Beis ha'Peras?
