*********************GIRSA SECTION*********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach and the marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is devoted to any other important corrections that Acharonim have pointed out in the Gemara, Rashi and Tosfos.
[1] Rashi 49b DH Mishum d'Chesiv ד"ה משום דכתיב:
The words "uv'Hanei Trei d'Ika l'Meimar" ובהני תרי דאיכא למימר
should be "uv'Hanei Trei Ika l'Meimar" ובהני תרי איכא למימר

1)[line 10]מרטא דביני אטמיMERATA D'VEINI ATMEI- wool plucked from between the flanks (of a living animal, which contains moisture)

7)[line 24]קסדורKASDOR- (O.F. menestrel) officer. The English word quaestor or questor (a state official, originally a prosecutor or judge in certain criminal cases) stems from this word.
8)[line 30]אמתילAMSIL- they are compared
9)[line 38]שלחיןSHELACHIN- hides
10)[line 39]גיזי צמרGIZEI TZEMER- shearings of wool
11)[line 41]מטה על צדה ונוטלMATAH AL TZIDAH V'NOTEL- "He should turn it over on its side and remove it." It is not entirely clear what the Mishnah means by this. Why will this action prevent the wool stuffing on the sides of the pot from caving in? The TIFERES YISRAEL understands the Mishnah to mean that the person should only remove the food, but not the pot, so that the stuffing around it (which is Muktzah) should not cave in. However, this does not seem to be the simple meaning of the Mishnah, and it is not clear why the pot must be tipped over in order to accomplish this. From the RAMBAM's words (in Peirush ha'Mishnayos) it is evident that the pot, which is inside a large box, either does not have stuffing around its sides or has sturdy stuffing around it which will not cave in. The stuffing that is problematic is over the cover of the pot, at the opening of the box. If the pot is removed, the stuffing above it will fall into the hole in which the pot used to sit. In order to avoid that, the box and pot are turned on their side, and then the cover of the pot is removed. The stuffing then falls onto the floor, outside of the box, as the cover is removed (as pointed out by Reb Mordechai Rabin of Har Nof). This apparently is the way that Rashi and the other Rishonim understand it as well.
