[The meaning is not clear, nor is the text certain. The passage may also be explained: 'You report this ruling in the name of R. Hisda and as such it could not have been commented on by R. Jose; we report it as a Baraitha taught by R. Hiyya, and in connection with which R. Jose's statement was made'; cf. text in R. Gershom.]');"><sup>14</sup></span>
