FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) Gemara in Kerisus (12b), as cited by Rashi here (9b, DH v'Siman). (According to Tosfos, this is true only according to the Rabanan who argue with Rebbi Yehudah. According to Rebbi Yehudah, though, the land was sanctified when the Beis ha'Mikdash was rebuilt, and we count the Shemitah years from the beginning of the building of the second Beis ha'Mikdash.)
(2) As related in the Beraisa (9a).
(3) These six years are not included in the count of years used for the writing of Shetaros, as Rashi explains (9a, DH Neshayalei, based on the Gemara, beginning of 10a).
(4) The Romans took control 180 years after Yavan took control over Yisrael, as the Beraisa (9a) relates.
(5) This is in accordance with the Gemara's proof from the discrepancy in the two Beraisos (one states that Rome ruled for 180 years and the other states that Rome ruled for 206 years). The kingdom of Hurdus ruled for 103 years in Eretz Yisrael under the dominion of Rome, and it ended with the Churban.)
(6) The Churban occurred 420 years after the Beis ha'Mikdash was rebuilt, as the Seder Olam mentions. According to Tosfos (9b, DH Hai), the second Beis ha'Mikdash was destroyed in the year 3829, or *421* years after it was built. See Insights.
(7) As related in the Beraisa (9a).
