I'm having trouble aligning the 1, 2, 3 portion of the reference to any of the standard divisions. The Berachos portion is fine. What am I missing?

    There are two Logos references, Jerusalem Talmud, and Jerusalem Talmud Folio.

    Unlike the Babylonian Talmud, whose subpages correspond to a folio side (a, then b), the Jerusalem Talmud subpages have 2 columns per side (a, b, then c, d).

    However, I don't think there's a way to easily map between Daf numbers (which use the Vilna Edition) and Jerusalem Talmud Folio references.

    Don't quote me on this, but from what I can see trying to do a text comparison by hand, Berachot Daf 1 is Berachot Folio 2a and 2b, but Daf 2 also starts on Folio 2b, Daf 3 is also on Folio 2b, Daf 4 is on Folio 2c, and so on, up to Daf 68 starting on Folio 13b.

    If you want to see the actual text for each Daf, I'd recommend Sefaria.

    Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

    Thank you ... I now know what I am looking at and know what I am looking for.
