כל אלו האנשים המקבלים הוסיף להם מחבר המשנה ידיעה ופרסום על פי ענינים יש מהם מי שיחס אותם למלאכה כדי לפרסם שמו כגון שאמר נחום הלבלר ור"ש השזורי.

**Rambam Introduction to the Mishnah, translation by Rabbi Francis Nataf, 2017:**
The redactor of the Mishnah added information and fame according to [various] matters to all of these men that received the transmission. There are some of them that he associated with a craft to publicize his name; for example, when he said, "Nachum the Scribe," and "Rabbi Shimon the Twine-spinner."

[Rambam Introduction to the Mishnah 27:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Rambam%20Introduction%20to%20the%20Mishnah/r/27:3)

מהם שיחס לארצו כגון שאמר איש חדוד ואיש אונו ואיש ברתותא וענין שאמר איש צרידה ואיש ירושלים וזולתם מן המקומות מפני שהוא ידוע המקום ההוא וכבודו כלומר כי זה האיש אשר הוא מאנשי המקום ההוא באמת ראוי לקרותו איש.

**Rambam Introduction to the Mishnah, translation by Rabbi Francis Nataf, 2017:**
There are some of them that he associated with his land; for example, when he said, "The man of Chadid" and "The man of Bartota"; and the matter that he said, "The man of Tsereidah" and "The man of Jerusalem," and the others of the places – because he is known in that place and that is his honor. This means to say, that this this man who is from the men of that place, is truly fitting to be called a man.

ומהם מי שיודיעוהו בשם אביו או אחיו כגון מאמרו ר' פלוני בן פלוני או ר' פלוני אחי פלוני וזה הרבה ומהם מי שיודיעוהו במשפחתו כגון שאמר פלוני הכהן:

**Rambam Introduction to the Mishnah, translation by Rabbi Francis Nataf, 2017:**
And there are some of them that he made known by the name of his father or his brother; for example, his statement, "Rabbi x, the son of y," or Rabbi x, the brother of y" – and [there are] many [like] this. And there are some of them that he made known by his family; for example, when he said, "X the Priest."
