אלמנה ניזונת מנכסי יתומין. בין קרקעות בין מטלטלין. דתנאי כתובה הוא, ואת תהא יתבא בביתי ומתזנא מנכסי:
ואין חייבין בקבורתה. שהבעל חייב בקבורתה תחת ירושתה, ועכשיו שיורשיה גובין כתובתה מיורשי הבעל, הם יקברוה. וממילא שמעינן שאם מתה ולא נשבעה על כתובתה שעכשיו אין יורשיה גובין כתובתה, על יורשי הבעל מוטל לקברה:

כתובות פרק י"א משנה ב׳
Bartenura
בין מן האירוסין – for she has no support/food and sells [it] for her Ketubah settlement.
בין מן הנשואין – which she sells for support/food.
מוכרת שלא בבית דין – meaning to say, that is not in a Jewish court of specialists/experts, but nonetheless, she needs to sell in the presence of three who would be expert in estimation of the land.
רבי שמעון אומר מן הנשואין – that she sells for food, selling not before a Jewish court for it is impossible to her to be sitting [and suffering] until she they would obligate for her a Jewish court. But from the betrothal, where here sale is not for anything other than the Ketubah, she does not sell it other than in a Jewish court, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
בין מן הארוסין. שאין לה מזונות ומוכרת לכתובתה:
בין מן הנשואין. שהיא מוכרת למזונות:
מוכרת שלא בבית דין. כלומר שלא בבית דין מומחין. ומכל מקום צריכה למכור בפני שלשה שיהיו בקיאין בשומת קרקע:
רבי שמעון אומר מן הנשואין. שהיא מוכרת למזונות, מוכרת שלא בבית דין, שאי אפשר לה להיות יושבת ומתענה עד שיזדקקו לה בין דין. אבל מן הארוסין שאין מכירתה אלא לכתובה, אינה מוכרת אלא בבית דין. ואין הלכה כרבי שמעון:

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

אלה ניזונת מנכסי יתומין – whether land or movables, for it is the condition of the Jewish marriage contract: “And you will dwell in my house and be supported from my property.”
ואין חייבין בקבורתה – for the husband is liable in her burial in place of her inheritance, and now those who inherit her collect her Ketubah settlement from those who inherit the husband – and they would bury her and of itself, we learn that if she died, and did not take an oath about her Ketubah, for now, her heirs do not collect her Ketubah, and it is placed upon the husband’s heirs to bury her.
