Commentary for Berakhot 66:13
דאמר רחבא אמר ר' יהודה הר הבית סטיו כפול היה והיה סטיו לפנים מסטיו
For Rahba said in the name of R. Judah : The Temple mount was a double colonnade, and it was a colonnade within a colonnade.
Abraham Cohen Footnotes to the English Translation of Masechet Berakhot
This is quoted to show how Rahba reported his teacher verbatim. The ordinary word for a colonnade is אצטבא ; but since R. Judah used the word סטיו, Rahba also used it in quoting him. On this double colonnade see Derenboorg, Essai, p. 51 n., Schurer, ii. i. p. 35.
