***************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 59b [line 36]:
The words "Amar Rav Yehudah Amar Rav *Shmuel*"
should be "Amar Rav Yehudah Amar Rav *Sheshes*"
This is the Girsa of Rabeinu Chananel, Rif, Rashba and other Rishonim. It
is also the Girsa of Dikdukei Sofrim #4. (The Girsa was changed according
to the emendation of the Maharshal, however, the Girsa in the Maharshal was
then changed to read "Rav Sheshes," and not "Rav Shmuel," in accordance
with all of the above Rishonim.)

[2] Gemara 59b [line 44]:
The words "*v'Amar* Rebbi Zeira Lo Kashya"
should be "*Amar* Rebbi Zeira Lo Kashya"
This is the Girsa of the Warsaw edition of the Shas and all other editions,
except for the Vilna edition.

[3] Rashi 59b DH a'Avnet Shel Melachim:
The words "Benei Melachim *Re'uyim* Lo"
should be "Benei Melachim *u'Re'uyim* Lo"
(This is the Girsa of Rashi on the Rif)

(a) A Zav, whether he sees Zov two or three times, is an Av ha'Tum'ah. He can cause objects that are under him to become Avos ha'Tum'ah whether he touches them or not. The objects becomes Tamei Midras (lit. an object that is treaded upon), otherwise known as Mishkav or Moshav ha'Zav (or the *Tachton*, of a Zav.) Any object (besides earthenware utensils and foods) may become a Mishkav or Moshav if it was made for lying or sitting upon.

(b) A person who is touching or carrying a Mishkav or Moshav is Metamei the clothes he is wearing and other utensils (except for earthenware utensils) that he may be touching. These items get the status of Rishon l'Tum'ah.
