(c) Ravina asks on Rebbi Shimon ben Elazar that, according to his Derashah, it ought to be a hundred and twenty days. How does he arrive at that figure?

(a) What does Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi say about an Eved Kena'ani that one purchased from a Nochri, who refuses to perform the Milah?
(b) The Rabanan suggested to Rav Papa that Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi's statement does not conform with the opinion of Rebbi Akiva. Why is that?
(c) Rav Papa replied by establishing Rebbi Akiva by 'Lo Paska l'Milsei' and Rebbi Yehoshua by 'Paska l'Milsei', which some explain to mean that Rebbi Akiva is speaking when the Eved refused to comply with his purchaser from the very outset; whereas Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi speaks when initially, he agreed to convert but then changed his mind. How do others explain it?

(a) Rav Kahana asked Rav Zevid from Neherda'a why Rebbi Akiva then found it necessary to explain "ben Amasecha" to refer to an Eved whom he bought Erev Shabbos just before dusk. Why did he not establish it by a case of 'Paska l'Milsei'? What did the latter reply?
(b) Ravin quoting Rebbi Ilai, gives a third case of an Eved whom one may retain, and which Rav Papa again establishes even according to Rebbi Akiva. What is the case?
