29)[line 5]שטרי אירוסין ונשואיןSHETAREI EIRUSIN V'NISU'IN- documents of Eirusin and Nisu'in.

One of the ways to betroth a woman is to hand her such a document (Mishnah Kidushin 2a). According to others (and according to the way the RASHBAM explains the Mishnah here), a Shtar Eirusin is a Shtar Pesikta, a document that states how much each of the in-laws agree to give for their children's marriage (RITVA). A Shtar Nisu'in is the Kesuvah, describing the obligations of the husband towards the wife, and of the wife towards the husband.
