Other Notes:

[N4] היה is slightly abbreviated to 'הי to avoid inscribing the divine name יה.
[N5] Mishnayot ─ sections which form the Mishna corpus, the first major work of rabbinic literature from which all subsequent works stem. The reference here is probably to his regular participation in a Mishna study circle.
[N8] The Hebrew date might otherwise have been recorded as the eve of the festival of Purim.
