*********************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] Gemara 67a [line 23]:
"d'Chamitei Eshasa ... ha'Tachminei Eshasa" דחמיתיה אשתא ... התחמיניה אשתא
Rashi's Girsa was "d'Chamita Eshasa ... Tachmina Eshasa" דחמיתה אשתא ... תחמינה אשתא
[2] Gemara 67a [line 32]:
"Sherika Panda" שיריקא פנדא
Rashi's Girsa is "Sherika'i Panda'i" שריקאי פנדאי
[3] Rashi 67a DH d'Chaya דחייא :
The words "Shel Shen Shu'al Chai" של שן שועל חי
should be "Shen Shel Shu'al Chai" שן של שועל חי
[4] Tosfos 67a DH Bnei Melachim ד"ה בני מלכים:
The words "d'Lo Yetzei b'Chosam sheb'Tzavaro" דלא יצא בחותם שבצוארו
should be "d'Lo Yetzei b'Zog sheb'Tzavaro" דלא יצא בזוג שבצוארו (M. KORNFELD)
[5] ibid.:
"Havu Mechaichei Alei Bnei Melachim Kol Sha'ah" הוו מחייכו עליה בני מלכים כל שעה
The words "Bnei Melachim" בני מלכים are unnecessary. (M. KORNFELD)
[6] ibid.:
The words "Aval Iy Bnei Melachim Lo Mechaichei" אבל אי בני מלכים לא מחייכו
should be "Aval Iy Bnei Melachim Hen, Lo Mechaichei" אבל אי בני מלכים הן לא מחייכו (M. KORNFELD)
