Notes
Text breaks marked by punctus plus three spaces.
Includes texts and glosses from Shabbat 74b l. 18 to 75b l. 39. Many of the articles are copied verbatim or contracted from the Talmud text, omitting the Amoraic dialectics (and names). So this is apparently not a fragment of a gloss.
The article in the first 8 lines of the fragment is found in article 228 of Judah Barzilay's ha-ʹItim, which is copied from Ḥai Gaon's Gloss on Talmud Shabbat, as was recorded by L. Ginzburg in Ginzei Schechter (Ginze Shekhṭer / Louis Ginzberg. New York : JTS, 1928-1928, v. 3, p. 324-331); and again by B.M. Levin: Otsar ha-geʾonim / Benjamin Menasseh Levin. Haifa, 1928-1943, v. 2, p.32-33.
The article in verso ll. 3-15 also appears in ʻItim article 232 adjacent to an article presented in the name of Ḥai Gaon (Levin, ibid. 35-36, par. 136).
The last article, ll. 25-28 is also likely to be from Ḥai's gloss, as it is similar to the article recorded in ʻArukh (ב"ט (1 under the heading פירשו הגאונים (see Levin, ibid. p. 36 par. 137).
