Gittin 9:6 - 9:7

כשני דפין שכתבן – on two pages this one on the side of the other, and two Hebrews inscribing their signatures under the first Jewish bill of divorce to under the second [Jewish bill of divorce]. The name of the first witness is under the first [Jewish bill of divorce] and the name of his father is under the second {Jewish bill of divorce], and similarly, the seonc witness underneath him. And afterwards, they went back and had two Israelites who live in the land of Greece, who signed in Greek writing , and the manner of Greek writing is that it goes from left to rightg, so that we would find the name of the witness under the second [Jewish bill of divorce] and the name of his father under the first [Jewish bill of divorce].

את שהעדים הראשונים נקראים עמו כשר – if the Hebrews who affixed their signatures above, for it is the manner of Hebrew writing that it goes from the right to the left, and we find the name of the witness underneath the right-hand Jewish bill of divorce, and the name of his father underneath the left-hand Jewish bill of divorce, the right-hand [Jewish bill of divorce] is valid. But if the Greek signatures [are found] above, the left-hand [Jewish bill of divorce] is valid, for the names of the witnesses are under the left-hand [Jewish bill of divorce]. And the reason for this is that we suspect lest the latter witnesses swriched their writing to the order/manner of the first set of witnesses, for if the Hebrew [writers] were above , which they go from the right to the left and they affixed their signatures on the right-hand Jewish bill of divorce, when the two Greek [Jews] came to affix their signatures underneath theirs, they also went from the right to the left, like the order of Hebrew writing. And we found that all four of them affixed their signatures on the right-hand Jewish bill of divorce. And similarly, if the Greek [Jews] had affixed their signatures above , lest the Hebrew writers who came after them switched the order of their Hebrew writing, and went from the left to the right, so that it was found that all four of them affixed their signatures on the left-side [Jewish bill of divorce].

ה"ג עד אחד עברי ועד אחד יוני, ועד אחד עברי ועד אחד יוני באים מתחת זה לתחת זה שניהם פסולין – And the reason is that we suspect lest the Hebrew [writing] witness affixed his signature on the first right-hand side Jewish bill of divorce, according to the manner of Hebrew writing, and the Greek [Jewish] second witness affixed his signature on the second left-hand side Jewish bill of divorce, according to the manner of Greek writing which begins from the left, but the third Hebrew witness, switched the Hebrew writing and also began from the left like the Greek [Jew] before him, and it was found that he too had his signature affixed on the left-side Jewish bill of divorce; but the final Greek [Jewish] witness had his signature affixed in his [normal] manner, from the left to the right, and he too had his signature affixed on the left-side Jewish bill of divorce; hence it was found that three witnesses had their signatures affixed on the left-side Jewish bill of divorce, with only one [witness] with his signature affixed on the right-side [Jewish bill of divorce]. Or the opposite, where the second Greek witness, reversed his writing to the order of Hebrew writing and began from the right to the left like the first Hebrew witness who affixed his signature, and the third Hebrew witness affixed his signature as per his manner from the right-side, and we found that three of them had affixed their signatures on the first right-side Jewish bill of divorce, but the final Greek [Jewish] witness alone affixed his signature as per his manner on the left-hand side Jewish bill of divorce. And because we do not know upon which of them three of them affixed their signatures and which of them only one of them affixed his signature, both [Jewish bills of divorce] are invalid.

בדף השני – which near on the width of the scroll

מן הצד – on the margin on the right side of the Jewish bill of divorce or on he left-hand margin.

או מאחוריו בגט פשוט – that its witnesses are inside it

הקיף – attached this one next to that one

שניהם פסולים – for it is not called “affixing one’s signature” neither with this one or with that one.

את שהעדים נקרין בסופו – he made a mistake while affixing his signature towards the end, but if the feet of the signature are not facing towards the head, it is valid.
