2)[line 10]שלשה גיטין פסוליןSHELOSHAH GITIN PESULIN- there are three types of Gitin (sing. Get) which are invalid [mid'Rabanan, while mid'Oraisa they are valid]

4a)[line 25]פלוני ערבPELONI AREV- [it is written at the end of the Shtar, before the signatures of the witnesses,] "So-and-so is a guarantor." (In such a case, there is a concern that the witnesses signed below only signed in attestation to the debt itself that is written in the Shtar, and not to the commitment of the guarantor.)

b)[line 25]ופלוני ערבU'PELONI AREV- [it is written at the end of the Shtar, before the signatures of the witnesses,] "And so-and-so is a guarantor."

7a)[line 32]"שְׁאִילוּ" פסול"SHE'ILU," PASUL- [if the witnesses signed the Get after the words telling them to] "inquire [about his welfare]," then the Get is invalid [because we are concerned that the witnesses are attesting only to the words of greeting and not to the rest of the contents of the Get]

b)[line 32]"וּשְׁאִילוּ" כשר"U'SHE'ILU," KASHER- [if the witnesses signed the Get after the words telling them,] "and inquire [about his welfare]," then the Get is valid [because the word "and" connects the words of greeting with the earlier contents of the Get, and thus we assume that the witnesses attested to everything written therein]
