1)[line 3]שלחו ליה מבי רב לשמואלSHALCHU LEI MI'BEI RAV LI'SHMUEL- they sent to him, from the house of Rav, [the following question] to Shmuel

3)[line 8]המוציא מחבירו עליו הראיהHA'MOTZI ME'CHAVEIRO ALAV HA'RE'AYAH
The general rule in monetary claims is that the burden of proof rests with the one who wishes to extract payment or other items of value from the other person. Hence, when ownership is in doubt, all money or real estate remains with the one who has possession.
4)[line 9]פקעPAKA- [if he does not bring a proof, then] he has no claim
5)[line 10]לצדדין קתניLI'TZEDADIN KETANI- the two statements are dealing with different cases. In order to resolve a difficulty, the statement of a Tana may be interpreted as referring partially to one case and partially to another. The Gemara here interprets the Beraisa to mean that if the worker can bring proof, then he collects, and if he cannot bring proof, then the owner swears and the worker loses.
6)[line 19]נוטהNOTEH- leans
7)[line 20]אחמורי קא מחמירACHMURI KA MACHMIR- Rebbi Yehudah is stringent [because he allows the worker to collect only when the employer partially admits]
8)[line 39]ותקנתא לתקנתא לא עבדינןV'TAKANTA L'TAKANTA LO AVDINAN- lit. and an enactment for an enactment we do not make. Rebbi Yehudah maintains that when there is a Torah obligation to swear, the Chachamim enacted that the worker swears and collects. If the employer does not need to swear mid'Oraisa but only mid'Rabanan, the Chachamim did not make a second enactment for the worker.
