Introduction

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.

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."
