***************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 20a [line 1]:
The words "she'Te'echoz ha'Ur *b'Rubo*"
should be "she'Te'echoz ha'Ur *b'Ruban*"
(Rashash; this is also the way it appears in the Gemara,
the Aruch (Erech Gaval) and the Rosh)

[2] Gemara 20a [last line]:
"Itmar *Nami*"
It is evident from Rashi that he was not Gores the word "Nami" (see
Insights); it also does not appear in the early printings of Shas and in
Dikdukei Sofrim #400. (It is a later addition of the Maharshal.)

[3] Rashi 20a DH Nachar:
the words "Leichah *Shelah*"
should be "Leichah *Shelo*"

[4] Rashi 20b DH Rav Kahana Amar [at the top of the page]:
"ul'Avdurei Lo Chaishinan"
Apparently this is a new Dibur which should read:
*DH LO AGADAN EIN TZERICHIM ROV*: ul'Avdurei Lo Chaishinan...
(M. KORNFELD)
