A BIT MORE
1. The date on a Shtar is in accordance with the number of years of the Greek Kingdom. The six years when the Greeks ruled in Eilam are normally not included in that count. Nevertheless, if a scribe included the six years, it is not regarded as a postdated Shtar.
2. Shtaros are not dated by the number of years that have passed from the Exodus from Egypt, which was 1000 years prior to the beginning of the reign of the Greeks.
3. The count of the new year of the reign of a Jewish king begins from the first of Nisan.
4. The count of the new year of the reign of a Nochri king begins from the first of Tishrei.
5. The birthday of the king is also a religious holiday. It is forbidden to do commerce with them for the three days prior to that date.
6. However, the king may request from his ministers to allow his son to succeed him.
7. He took two servants with him. One he killed at the entrance to the house of Rebbi. The second one he killed at the entrance to his own house.
8. He told the king that the world cannot exist without Yisrael, and he told him that if the Jews are destroyed, the Romans will be called a cut-off kingdom. He was taken out to be killed for his impudence. On the way, he fell on his sword in order to perform a Bris Milah on himself. He declared, "All of my property shall be left for Rebbi Akiva and his colleagues."
9. The Torah states, "It shall be for Aharon and his sons." The Chachamim derive from here that half of the loaves shall be for Aharon, the Kohen Gadol, and the other half for the other Kohanim.
