1)[line 1]ביישוב לא עבידנאB'YISHUV LO AVDINAN- in the city we will not do [Melachah on the second of Yom Tov, even though we know for a certainty that it is not truly Yom Tov]
2)[line 5]שמתיהSHAMTEI- excommunicated him (put him in Niduy)
3)[line 5]ולנגדיה מר נגידיVEL'NAGDEI MAR NEGIDEI- should you not whip him?
4)[line 6]מימנו אנגידאMIMNU A'NEGIDA- (a) the scholars of a Yeshiva gather to vote on whether or not a member deserves to receive Makos Mardus (RASHI); (b) the scholars of a Yeshiva must gather in the presence of their most respected leader and agree unanimously before administering Makos Mardus (RIF)
5)[line 7]ולא מימנו אשמתאV'LO MIMNU A'SHAMTA- (a) but no vote is held should a scholar sin to the extent that he may be worthy of Niduy (excommunication). Since this is a graver situation, the resulting degradation of Torah due to the publicizing of the event would be worse than a possible miscarriage of justice. (RASHI); (b) but if a scholar should sin to the extent that he may be worthy of Niduy, "Ein Cholkin Kavod la'Rav," i.e. no gathering is held in the presence of the spiritual leader. Rather, Niduy is administered immediately. (RIF)
6)[line 9]מנדיןMENADIN- one should be excommunicated
7)[line 11]דטבא ליה עבדיD'TAVA LEI AVDI- (lit. what is better for him I did) I gave him a better punishment
8a)[line 20]צא והבא לך אף אתה מהיכא דאייתינהוTZEI VA'HAVEI LECHA AF ATAH ME'HEICHA D'AISINHU- [he may say to the residents of the city from where he came,] "Go and bring for yourselves as well from the place where I have brought them (the produce)"
b)[line 24]צא והבא לך אף אתה מהיכא דאייתינהוTZEI VA'HAVEI LECHA AF ATAH ME'HEICHA D'AISINHU- [the residents of the city from where he came may say to him,] "Go and bring for yourself as well from the place where you have brought them (the produce) [back to his original city]"
9)[line 30]אגבא דחמרא קלטינהוA'GABA D'CHAMRA KALTINHU- [did] it obtain [a new status while it was riding] on the back of the donkey?
10)[line 32]הכובש שלשה כבשיןHA'KOVESH SHELOSHAH KEVASHIN- one who pickles three vegetables [which have Kedushas Shevi'is during Shemitah]
11)[line 33]אוכלין על הראשון...OCHLIN AL HA'RISHON...- he [must] eat [all of the vegetables based] upon [the date when] the earliest [of the three will no longer be available to animals in the field (Zman ha'Bi'ur; see Background to Pesachim 50:11)]. Rav Ashi suggests that this is the case under discussion in our Mishnah. The Tana Kama is lenient according to the opinion of Rebbi Yehoshua, and requires Bi'ur only when all of the types of vegetables are no longer available in the field. Rebbi Yehudah, however, agrees with Raban Gamliel and requires Bi'ur to be done for each type as it becomes unavailable.
12)[last line]שבצוערTZO'AR- a city located in Yehudah (see below, entry #14a) on the Jordan Plain, probably on the southern bank of what is now the Dead Sea (mentioned in Bereishis 13:10, 19:22, and Devarim 34:3)

b)[line 2]שבין השיציןBEIN HA'SHITZIN- [dates which fell and are currently lodged] among the low thorns of a palm tree. Since wild animals are unable to extricate these dates. Rebbi Shimon Ben Gamliel maintains that the Zman ha'Bi'ur has arrived. This is also the opinion of Rebbi Yehudah in our Mishnah, suggests Ravina. This is what he meant by "Tzei va'Havei Lecha Af Atah" - "Go and bring for yourself as well from where an animal is able to reach them"; if you are unable to, then the Zman ha'Bi'ur has arrived. The Tana Kama of our Mishnah agrees with the leniency of the Tana Kama of this Beraisa according to Ravina.
14)[line 2]שלש ארצות לביעורSHALOSH ARATZOS L'BI'UR- there are three [distinct] lands as far as Bi'ur (see Background to 50:11) is concerned. This means that if a certain type of produce is no longer available in one of the following areas, the Zman ha'Bi'ur has arrived there even if it is still available to animals in a different area.

b)[line 3]ועבר הירדןEVER HA'YARDEN- the district of Ever ha'Yarden, encompassing modern-day Jordan. (According to the opinion of the Rambam (Hilchos Shemitah v'Yovel 7:9), Ever ha'Yarden is comprised of the lowlands and hills around Lod and Beis Choron, on the west bank of the Jordan River.)

(Hoshea 4:12) - This verse refers to the practice of witchcraft. Rav Yosef quotes it in our Gemara as a play on words, to allege that the ruling of Rav Huna appealed to Rav Safra due to its leniency.
