1) [line 5] EIN HACHRA'AH SHELISHIS MACHRA'AS
(a) When three opinions are expressed regarding a certain matter and one of
them is an intermediate opinion which accepts part of what was expressed by
each extreme opinion, thereby *compromising* between the two other opinions,
the Halachah follows that opinion.
(b) If the intermediate opinion is stated as an *independent* third opinion,
and is not based on a dichotomy hinted at by the first two opinions, the
Halachah does not necessarily follow that opinion (RASHI).

promissed would be his wages
5) [line 15] TZAYAD HA'SHOLEH DAGIM MIN HA'YAM - a fisherman

7) [line 24] YARAD LEHATZIL V'ALAH SHELO ME'EILAV - if he (the owner of the
one-Maneh donkey) jumped in to save [the two-Maneh donkey with the intention
that his donkey would be lost and his friend would pay for it,] but his
donkey subsequently came out by itself
8) [line 25] MI'SHEMAYA RACHIMU ALEI - (lit. Heaven had mercy on him) the
owner of the two-Maneh donkey must pay the owner of the one-Maneh donkey the
value of his donkey, and it is considered that he re-acquired his donkey
from Hefker
9) [last line] V'ZO SHE'ELAH! - This is a good question! [and I will answer

13) [line 7] TAYAR - a guide
14) [line 7] MECHASHVIN AF LEFI NEFASHOS - [since hiring a guide involves
life-threatening danger,] they pay per head as well (half per head and half

without providing the actual animal] and I will [even so -- although I have
no animal that needs to be guarded --] stand guard [when my turn arrives]
19) [line 12] EIN SHOM'IN LO - (lit. we do not listen to him) we do not
accept this condition, since we assume that a person does not guard the
animals as well as he guards them when he has an animal of his own to guard
