1)[line 1]בעישורייתא וחומשייתאB'ISURYASA V'CHUMSHEYASA- in tens or in fives. (It was the custom to count large quantities by counting from one to ten (or five), and then starting again from one and counting to ten (or five), and remembering how many sets of ten (or five) one has already counted. Hence, it was possible to err in the number of tens (or fives).)

8)[line 13]וקא אזלי עשרה קרי בני זרתאV'KA AZLEI ASARAH KAREI BENEI ZARTA- ten Zeres-long gourds were going [for one Zuz at the market price]. (A Zeres is the distance between the tip of the thumb and the smallest finger in a spread hand, or half of an Amah (3 Tefachim) according to some, or 1/3 of an Amah according to others; see Background to Moed Katan 18:19.)
9)[line 15]בני גרמידאBENEI GARMIDA - an Amah-long (MEAUREMENTS OF LENGTH)
(a)An Amah is approximately 48 cm (18.9 in) or 57.6 cm (22.7 in), depending upon the differing Halachic opinions.
1.1 Amah = 2 Zerasos = 6 Tefachim
2.1 Zeres = 3 Tefachim
3.1 Tefach = 4 Etzba'os (RAMBAM Klei ha'Mikdash 9:6).

15)[line 1]קרוב לשכר ורחוק להפסדKAROV LI'SECHAR V'RACHOK L'HEFSED- near to profit and far from loss. This involves a case in which a buyer gives money in return for the later delivery of produce, and he stipulates that if the produces becomes spoiled before delivery, the responsibility is the seller's and the buyer gets his money back. If the produce remains fresh, then the sale is consummated. Since the buyer does not accept responsibility for the loss of the produce, when he gives the money to the seller it looks like a loan (since the seller - no matter what happens - later must return that money, or produce worth that money, to the buyer). If the produce, on the other hand, increases in value, then the sale remains valid, and the increase in value that the buyer receives is considered like Ribis. Such a case is prohibited mid'Rabanan (Bava Metzia 70a).
