1) [line 1] SIFRA - Toras Kohanim. One of the earliest commentaries on Vayikra, which was written by Rav (circa 220 C.E.) and which follows the opinion of Rebbi Yehudah

*2*) [line 12] RAV YEHUDAH MASNI PATUR - see Chart
*3*) [line 22] MAH AVODAS KOCHAVIM - that is, with regard to idol-worship it is obvious that there are no circumstances in which one is Patur from a Korban since a Mitzvah was done, because it is impossible to perform a Mitzvah through an act of idol-worship (since idol-worship is an act of the heart, see Daf 72b Rashi DH Harei Libo).

4) [line 30] TARID MITZVAH - he is busily engaged in and anxious about the performance of a Mitzvah (the circumcision of the baby who is supposed to have his circumcision today)

5) [line 40] BEIN HA'SHEMASHOS (*Halachic* sunset)
(a) There is an uncertainty as to whether Bein ha'Shemashos is considered part of the day or part of the night.

(b) The Tana'im (Shabbos 34b) argue as to exactly when Bein ha'Shemashos occurs: (1) Bein ha'Shemashos according to Rebbi Yehudah starts from the time the sun sets and lasts for the time that it takes an average person to walk a certain distance. The Gemara (Shabbos 34b) records a difference of opinion as to whether this distance is two thirds or three quarters of a Mil. (2) Rashi to Berachos 2b and Nidah 53a writes that this distance is half of a Mil accoding to Rebbi Yehudah; in our Gemara this is the opinion of Rebbi Nechemya.

(3) Bein ha'Shemashos according to Rebbi Yosi lasts as long as the (gentle) blink of an eye. Beforehand is day; afterwards is night. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the Bein ha'Shemashos of Rebbi Yosi occurs after or during the Bein ha'Shemashos of Rebbi Yehudah (Nidah 53a). In Shabbos 35a, the Gemara concludes that Rebbi Yosi's Bein ha'Shemashos occurs after the end of Rebbi Yehudah's Bein ha'Shemashos.
