The ninth perek of Masechet Yevamot begins on our daf, and offers a list relationships, including women who are:
permitted to their husbands, but not to their yavam (e.g. a widow who is married to a regular kohen, whose brother is the kohen gadol),
permitted to their yavam, even though they were forbidden to their husbands (e.g. a widow married to the kohen gadol whose brother is a regular kohen),
forbidden to both (e.g. a regular woman who is married to a mamzer, whose brother is a mamzer, as well),
permitted to both (e.g. most normal cases of marriage).
One of the objections to the Mishnah comes from : Rav Pappa who objects to the mishna: "If it is so, that the halakha is in accordance with Rabbi Yoḥanan’s opinion, as when Rav Dimi came from Eretz Yisrael he reported that Rabbi Yoḥanan said that in the case of a second-generation Egyptian who married a first-generation Egyptian woman, her son is considered a second-generation Egyptian, as the child’s status in this matter is determined according to the mother.”
