**וְכָתַב שְׁנֵי זַיְנִין.** שֶׁלֹּא נִרְאֶה הַגַּג שֶׁל חי"ת אֶלָּא שְׁנֵי הָרַגְלַיִם נִרְאֶה כְּאִלּוּ הֵם שֵׁנִי זַיְינִי"ן:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וכתב שני זיינין – the roof of the letter "ח" /Chet did not appear but only the two legs, so it appeared as if they were two letters "ז"/Zayin.

**עַל שְׁנֵי דַּפֵּי פִנְקָס.** שֶׁעֲשׂוּיִין עַמּוּדִים עַמּוּדִים, כָּתַב אוֹת אַחַת בְּעַמּוּד זֶה וְאוֹת אַחַת בְּעַמּוּד זֶה, וְאֵינוֹ יָכֹל לְקָרְבָן אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יַחְתֹּךְ מַה שֶּׁמַּפְסִיק בֵּינֵיהֶן. וְתָנָא בָּרֵישָׁא כָּתְלֵי הַבַּיִת הַמְּרֻחָקִים זֶה מִזֶּה וַהֲדַר תָּנֵי דַּפֵּי פִּנְקָס, וְלֹא זוֹ אַף זוֹ קָתָנֵי:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
על שני דפי פנקס – that are made column by column. He wrote one letter in this column and one letter in another column and he is unable to bring them close other than if he cuts out what is interrupting between them, the Tanna/Teacher of the Mishnah in the first part mentioned the walls of the house that are distant from each other, and afterwards taught the pages of a ledger/notebook and not only this, but also that, he taught (= the cases in the Mishnah are in descending order of demonstrability).

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
