***************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] Mishnah 54a [at the end]:
"Heferu Sorasecha *Mishum* Es La'asos"
The word "Mishum" does not appear in the Mishnayos. It also seems from the
Rambam in Peirush ha'Mishnayos that it did not appear in his text of the
Mishnah (see Insights).

[2] Gemara 54a [at the end of the page]:
"Es Vahev *b'Sufah* Shnei Metzora'im"
The word "b'Sufah" does not appear in Dikdukei Sofrim #7.

[3] Gemara 54b [line 36]:
"v'Chomas Yericho she'Nivle'ah"
The colons before and after these words are unnecessary
