ומזמין (להו) [ליה] לדינא, פסליה?! אלא כל דיין דמתקרי לדין, ומפקין מיניה ממונא בדין – לאו שמיה דיין. כתבו הכי: ״ברם סאבי דיהודאי אמרי: כל דיין דמתקרי לדין ומפקין מיניה ממונא בדין – לאו שמיה דיין״.
and summons a judge to judgment, has he disqualified the judge even if he were later to be exonerated? Rather, it should say: Any judge who is summoned to judgment and money is lawfully taken from him, i.e., he was ordered to return someone’s property, is not considered a judge. When they heard this, they wrote this addendum to the original inscription: But the elders of the Jews say that any judge who is summoned to judgment and money is lawfully taken from him is not considered a judge.
חזא דכתיב: ״בראש כל מותא – אנא דם, בראש כל חיין – אנא חמר״. אלא מעתה, דנפיל מאיגרא ומית, ודנפיל מדיקלא ומית, דמא קטליה?! ותו, מן דדרכיה למימת – משקו ליה חמרא, וחיי?! אלא הכי בעי למכתב: בראש כל מרעין – אנא דם, בראש כל אסוון – אנא חמר. כתבו הכי: ״ברם סאבי דיהודאי אמרי: בראש כל מרעין – אנא דם, בראש כל אסוון – אנא חמר, באתר דלית חמר – תמן מתבעו סמנין״.
R' Bena’a also saw that it was written there: At the head of all death am I, blood, i.e., people die from an excess of blood; at the head of all life am I, wine, i.e., wine is what gives life. He said to them: If that is so, in the case of someone who falls from a roof and dies, or someone who falls from a palm tree and dies, was it blood that killed him? And furthermore, concerning someone who is on the way to death, can they give him a drink of wine and he will live? Rather, this is what should be written: At the head of all illness am I, blood; at the head of all healing am I, wine. When they heard this, they wrote this addendum to the original inscription: But the elders of the Jews say: At the head of all illness am I, blood; at the head of all healing am I, wine. In a place where there is no wine, herbs are required there as medicines.
