Abstract
This article deals with the additional phrases found in the Cairo Genizah fragment related to Bavli, Tractate Eruvin 4b–5a, identified as Cambridge UL T-S F1 (1) 44. FGP No. C 96446. Some of these additional phrases have not been found in any version of the various manuscripts and printed versions, and some were found in only one version. The purpose of the article was to examine whether these additional phrases preserve an ancient version that was only preserved in this Genizah fragment or whether they are a type of errors in the fragment. The conclusions of the article with regard to these additional phrases are varied; some of the phrases preserve an ancient version and some do not.

Dimi1112 (Aminoah 2016:783–784, 921, 952–953); it must be stated that the additional phrases are a gloss that entered the fragment as an interpolation, because there is no other source that cites R

Summary
The fragment is a segment from the Cairo Genizah, which refers to Tractate Eruvin in the Talmud Bavli (4b–5a), and it is identified as Cambridge UL T-S F1 (1) 44. The length of the page is 27.4 cm. The fragment begins with the topic of interposition in ritual immersion, where strict observation of issues related to interposition depends on the individual strictness practiced by the bather and is determined at the exclusive discretion of the bather. This is the halakha determined by R. This law pertaining to personal strictness with regard to matters of interposition, which is at the discretion of the bather, is very ancient (Gilat 1968:235) (which appears in the scrolls from Qumran) (Regev 1996:9–21; Reich 1997:127–128)
