2a)[line 2]דכיון דחזי ליה לאיצטרופי בתשעת קביןKEIVAN D'CHAZI LEI L'ITZTERUFEI B'SISH'AS KABIN- since it (each amount of land more than a Rova of a Kav per Se'ah in the Beis Kor) is fit to combine (with every other Rova-plus per Se'ah in the Beis Kor) to become an area of land equal to 9 Kavim (this is because in each Beis Kor there are 30 Se'ah, and thus there are 30 Rova-plus amounts of land. 30 Rovas equal 7.5 Kavim, and when each of those amounts are a little larger than a Rova, it equals [at least] 9 Kavim, - RABEINU GERSHOM)

b)[line 3]הויא לה ארעא חשיבתא באפי נפשא, והדראHAVYAH LAH AR'A CHASHIVTA B'APEI NAFSHAH, V'HADRA- it is a significant amount of land by itself, and it must be returned (the RASHASH says - based on the Gemara later (end of 104a) - that the words from "Keivan" until and including "b'Apei Nafshah" should be omitted, and that the Gemara is answering simply that since more than a Rova per Se'ah is a large amount, the party who was wronged does not forego that amount of land)
