Introduction


Hebrew Text

אלו הם השתוקין:
כל שהוא מכיר את אימו, ואינו מכיר את אביו.
אסופי:
כל שנאסף מן השוק,
ואינו מכיר לא את אביו ולא את אימו.
אבא שאול היה קורא לשתוקי, בדוקי.

English Translation

These are the Silent Ones:
any who knows his mother, but does not know his father.
[These are the] Foundlings:
any who was gathered in from the market,
and does not know either his father or his mother.
Abba Shaul would call the Silent Ones "Checked Ones."
