***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg 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 Gemara, Rashi or Tosfos.)

[1] Gemara 17a [line 20]:
"Tirdof Nafshi *v'Satzileini mi'Pega Ra ... ha'Misragshos Lavo la'Olam*"
The words *v'Satzileini mi'Pega Ra ... la'Olam" are not found in Dikdukei
Sofrim #40, Beis Nasan, and the Abudraham. It is also not found in our Sidurim.

[2] Gemara 17a [line 42]:
The words "l'Osim Lo Ne'emar, Ela l'Oseihem*"
should be "l'Lomdeihem Lo Ne'emar, Ela l'Oseihem*"
as noted in the margin. This is the way it is found in Dikdukei Sofrim #300
and in all the old printings of the Gemara. The wording of our Gemara is
based on the emendation of the Maharshal. However, the Maharsha was Gores,
like the Dikdukei Sofrim, "l'Lomdeihem," which seems to fit in better with
the context of the Derash.

[3] Gemara 17b [line 6]:
The words "O Talmid *she'Makdi'ach* Tavshilo ba'Rabim"
should be "O Talmid *she'Yakdi'ach* Tavshilo ba'Rabim *Kegon Yeshu ha'Notzri*"
This is the way it is appears in Dikdukei Sofrim #30, as found in
manuscripts and all the old printings of the Gemara. (Here he is grouped
along with the others who have no portion in the Olam ha'Ba - see the first
Mishnah of Perek Chelek in Sanhedrin)
