14)[line 23]בפומבדיתאPUMBEDISA- Pumbedisa (lit. Mouth of Bedisa, a canal of the Euphrates River, in Babylonia). The lay people of Pumbedisa were known to be thieves (Chulin 127a: "If a person from Pumbedisa escorts you, change your place of lodging [and part ways with him]!"). The Gemara (Shabbos 153a) also relates that the residents of Pumbedisa hated the local Rav, Rabah bar Nachmani, because of his words of reproof. The people of Pumbedisa lived in luxury; the city was a major trading station. On the other hand, Pumbedisa was the location of a great Yeshiva that existed for approximately 800 years. The Torah scholars of Pumbedisa were known for their keen intellect (Bava Metzia 38b). To emphasize its importance as a Torah center, Rabah and Rav Yosef stated that just as one is prohibited from leaving Eretz Yisrael to Chutz la'Aretz, so too one is prohibited from leaving Pumbedisa (Kesuvos 111a).

20)[line 20]סימניןSIMANIN
(a)There are certain instances where the Torah requires proof of identity, for example in order to reclaim a lost object or to identify a dead man and permit his wife to remarry. There is an argument as to whether Simanin ("signs" - identifying marks) are considered a valid poof (Simanin d'Oraisa) or not (Simanin Lav d'Oraisa or Simanin d'Rabanan) in these instances.
(b)The Simanin under discussion are not general signs (e.g. the color of the clothes of the deceased), nor very specific signs (e.g. the lost Get had a hole next to the third letter Alef). The former certainly is not accepted as proof, while the latter certainly is accepted (see Insights to Yevamos 120:1). The Simanin under discussion are signs that lie in between these extremes.
