R. Shesheth was blind. Once all the people went out to see the king, and R. Shesheth arose and went with them. A certain Sadducean11 came across him and said to him: The whole pitchers go to the river, but where do the broken ones go to?and a bit later,
R. Shila administered lashes to a man who had intercourse with an Egyptian14 woman.One or both of these might be censored by the Christians. According to this manuscript:
Firenze, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale , II.1.7
ברכות נח ע"א - ברכות נח ע"ב
It is rather mina and goya, respectively. (See first line and last line.)
