HALAKHAH: 117Babli Keritut6a/b. The compounding of the incense: balsamum, and cloves, galbanum and frankincense, each in the weight of 70 maneh118It is not obvious whether the reference is to the Semitic maneh, 60 šeqel, or the Greek mnā, 100 denar (drachmē). In the rabbinic system 1 šeqel = 2 denar. Since in all other circumstances we find that מנה denotes 100 denar (weight or money) there is no reason to assume that here the situation is different, even though the traditional vocalization in this context is מָנֶה.. Myrrh and cassia, spicenard and saffron, each in the weight of sixteen maneh. Costus twelve, bark three, cinnamon nine. You find that there were 365 maneh according to the days of the year and three for this day119The total amount adds up to 368 maneh.. That is what we have stated: “but on this day he adds a fistful.” Carshina120Name of a plant, usually leeks (in Arabic, peas or a related vegetable.) In the Babli, “Carshina lye“; as shown by the next paragraph, this must be the reading here also. Qab as a volume is a fluid measure. nine qab, (Qanrisin) [caper]121The text in parentheses is the scribe’s, the one in brackets the corrector’s. Since the scribe was very consistent in his spelling of the name, this is not a scribal error and the corrector’s has to be classified as copied from the Babli. The word used by the scribe is a hapax, its meaning is unknown. If it is from قنّار “small onions”, the meaning of the Yerushalmi term is close to the of the Babli, wine with added vegetable aroma. wine three seah and three qab. If he has no (Qanrisin) [caper] wine he brings aged whitish wine. Sodom salt122Dead Sea salt. a quarter. Some smoke producing herb. Rebbi Nathan says, also some (Qafra) [Kifa]123Here also the corrector’s version in brackets is the Babli text, against the scribe’s in parentheses. An aromatic plant also mentioned in Tosephta Demai 1:29 (cf. S.Liebermann, Tosefta ki-fshutah, Zeraim vol, 1, New York 1955, p. 208). of the Jordan. If he added honey he invalidated it. If he left out one of its ingredients he is liable for death124Babli 53a.
Again spelling of corrector following the Babli. Probably the Babylonian pronunciation of qtaf was close to the Galilean of qtav. עֵץ can mean both “tree” and “bush”..
