* According to Tosfos, these are the *two* cases that the Gemara mentions as 
differences between the opinions of Rebbi Yirmeyah and Rav Idi. According to 
Rebbi Yirmeyah, such a woman is *prohibited* from being alone with Nochrim, 
while according to Rav Idi, such a woman is *permitted* to be alone with 
Nochrim.

FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) Tosfos defines "important" ("Chashuvah") as "related to nobility," as Rashi 
explains. According to the Yerushalmi that Tosfos quotes, "Chashuvah" refers to 
a woman who is strong (and can protect herself). 
(2) According to Rebbi Yirmeyah, even an important woman is at risk of Ervah, 
as is evident from the Mishnah according to his explanation. According to Rav 
Idi (who explains that the Mishnah refers to a woman who is not important), a 
woman who is not important is neither at risk of being killed nor at risk of 
Ervah.
(3) According to Rebbi Yirmeyah, a woman who is not important is at risk of 
being killed. According to Rav Idi, even a woman who is *not* important is not 
at risk of being killed, because she has her "Klei Zayenah Aleha" (she is able 
to persuade the Nochri not to kill her, but to keep her for immoral purposes).
