**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
רבן שמעון בן גמליאל אומר וכו' – The Gemara (Talmud Bava Batra 93b) establishes all of our Mishnah according to Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel but the Mishnah is deficient and should be read as follows: even if it were flax seed, he is not responsible. But surely, garden seeds which are not eaten, one is responsible for them, the words of Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel. For Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel states that garden seeds which are not eaten, one is responsible for them, for it is an errant transaction for certainly he sold them for planting.

קוסמות – bad wine. If the cellar of large wine jugs accepts upon itself ten large jugs, and if the storeroom of pitchers accepts upon itself ten pitchers, and specifically when he stated: “I am selling you this cellar.” And the stiff mass of grist, oil and onions (i.e., a porridge), meaning to say, to place within the cooked dish but if he said: “[I am selling] you a cellar of wine for the stiff mass of grist, oil and onions,” he must give him wine which is all fine for wine of a stiff mass of grist, oil and onions must be fine and enduring and that we have doubts about it other than a little bit. But, if he said, “I am selling you undefined wine,” and no mention of the stiff mass of grist, oil and onions, he gives him intermediate-quality wine that is sold in the store. But if he said: “This cellar I am selling to you,” but he did not mention even if all of it had soured/fermented had arrived.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel taught it as Rabbi Shimon ben Gamaliel states: הכל כבנין היכל/Everything should be in accord with the building of the Sanctuary/Temple. But there is one who says that Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel disputes with the first Tanna/teacher [of the Mishnah] and expresses astonishment in asking: “Should everything be in accordance with the Sanctuary/Temple?” The matter is not dependent upon anything but the custom of the country.
