When he comes to write the scroll, from what place does he write? From if no man have lain with thee... but if thou hast gone aside, being under thy husband etc. He does not, however, include, then the priest shall cause the woman to swear, but continues with, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath... and this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels and make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to fall away. He does not, however, include, and the woman shall say, Amen, Amen. R. Jose says, he makes no omissions. R. Judah says, he writes none of all this except, The Lord make thee a curse and an oath etc. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels etc. And does not include, and the woman shall say, Amen, Amen. |

He writes neither on a [wooden] tablet nor on papyrus nor on diftera but on a [parchment] scroll, as it is said, in a book. Nor does he write with a [preparation of] gum or vitriol or with anything which indents [the parchment] but with ink, as it is said, and blot out writing which is capable of being blotted out. |
