**And the fifth [appendix]** relates to the elucidation of the name of the student and their teacher, as is made known: We have already prefaced in our introduction of our words that the Holy Rabbi, the redactor of the Mishnah, was a student of his father. And so [too] each one of his elders, peace be upon them, was a student of his father to Hillel [back] from Shimon the Righteous, as we mentioned. And so [too, up to] Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai [back] from Hillel.
