היתה של קש ושל קנים כו׳ ר׳ יהודה קאמר לה, ולית הלכתא כוותיה:
עקומה. שאין אריח יכול לנוח עליה, וכן עגולה אין אריח נח בה:
אם יש בהקיפה. כלומר ואיזו היא מדת העגולה להכשיר, כל שיש בהקיפה שלשה טפחים, שצריכה חוט שלשה טפחים להקיפה סביב, בידוע שיש בה רוחב טפח אם תחלק, שכן מצינו בים שעשה שלמה (ד״ה ב׳ ד׳) עשר באמה משפתו אל שפתו עגול סביב וקו שלשים באמה יסוב אותו סביב, אלמא לכל אמה רוחב בעגול איכא שלש אמות היקף:

Bartenura
לחיים שאמרו – the stakes that Rabbi Eliezer and the Sages disputed about; for according to Rabbi Eliezer, two are required, and the Rabbis require only one and this is its measurement.
גבהן עשרה טפחים – like the measure of the height of he alley for its height cannot be less than ten handbreadths, and even if the alley was much higher, it is enough with a stake that is ten handbreadths high.
ורבי יוסי אומר רחבן שלשה – and Rabbi Yosi states that its width is three [handbreadths] for it requires something important as a partition, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yosi.
לחיים שאמרו. לחיים שנחלקו בה רבי אליעזר וחכמים, דלרבי אליעזר תרתי בעינן ולרבנן חדא, זהו שיעורן:
גבהן עשרה טפחים. כשיעור גובה המבוי דאין גבהו פחות מעשרה טפחים. ואפילו היה המבוי גבוה הרבה דיו בלחי גבוה עשרה טפחים:
ורבי יוסי אומר רחבן שלשה. דבעי דבר חשוב במחיצה. ואין הלכה כר״י:

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.

היתה של קש ושל קנים – Rabbi Yehuda stated this but the Halakha is not according to him.
עקומה – the small bricks are not able to rest upon it (when it is curved) and similarly when it is round, a small brick cannot rest upon it.
if it has in its circumference: Which is to say, what is the round measurement required to render [the beam] proper? Anything that has in its circumference three handbreadths, which requires a string of three handbreadths to encircle it around, it is known that it has a width (diameter) of one handbreadth, if you divide [it]. As so do we find with the basin that Shlomo made (II Chronicles 4:2), "ten ells from its edge to its edge and five ells of height and a line of thirty ells encircling it around." Hence for every ell in width (diameter), there are three ells in circumference.
