6)[line 9]להך לישנא דאמר רב נחמן מחלוקת במסיפס תיובתאL'HACH LISHNA D'AMAR RAV NACHMAN MACHLOKES B'MESIFAS TEYUVTA- According to the one who understood the Machlokes between Beis Hillel and Beis Shamai to be only in a case of a Mesifas (see #3 above), Beis Hillel agrees that an Eruv is necessary once the Mechitzah reaches ten Tefachim (RASHI), or if there is a proper Mechitzah (ARUCH). According to the Beraisa of Rebbi Yehudah ha'Sabar, it is clear that Beis Hillel does not require an Eruv unless there are Mechitzos that reach the ceiling.

7)[line 22]ממשMAMASH- i.e. built as part of the original building (RASHI); permanent walls as opposed to curtains or the like (TOSFOS DH b'Mechitzos 72a)

8)[line 24]במה דברים אמורים...BA'MEH DEVARIM AMURIM...- The author of this Beraisa understands that even Beis Shamai agree that in the case of our Mishnah all of the inhabitants of the Teraklin are considered to be in one Reshus, and need not make an Eruv among themselves. The Machlokes concerns whether or not one of the members of a Chatzer (which is already joined together by an Eruv) may represent the others when that Chatzer joins with an Eruv positioned in another Chatzer, or (according to the second version) if another Chatzer joins with an Eruv positioned in their Chatzer.

13)[line 44]במקבלי פרס שנוB'MEKABLEI PERAS SHANU- The brothers in our Mishnah do not actually eat in their father's house, but rather receive bread from him and bring it to their own homes to eat.
