Orach Chayim Siman 393 is a source-text unit from the Shulchan Arukh with 3 seifim. Its reading map separates the practical rule, its conditions and the points that need comparison with the surrounding text.
What to track
Read each seif as a separate step. Identify the action, the condition that limits it and any distinction between cases before moving to the next seif.
Study lens
Look for rabbinic statements and attributed teachings, Shabbat law and sacred time. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

Original text
<b>דיני עירוב ביום טוב שחל בערב שבת ודין בין השמשו' לערב. ובו ג סעיפים:</b><br>אין מערבין עירובי חצירו' ושיתופי מבואו' בי"ט שחל להיות בע"ש ואם שכח ולא עירב מערב יום טוב וחלו שני ימים טובים ביום החמישי ויום ששי יערב בי"ט על תנאי שיאמר אם היום חול יהא זה עירוב ואם היום קודש אין בדברי כלום ולמחר יאמר אם היום קודש הרי עירבתי מאתמול ואם היום חול יהא זה עירוב והני מילי בשני י"ט של גליות אבל בשני ימים טובים של ר"ה לא דכיומא אריכתא דמי (ועיין לקמן סי' תקכ"ח):
One does not make eruv chatzeirot (courtyard eruv) or shitufei mevoot (alleyway partnership) on a festival that falls on Friday. But if one forgot and did not make an eruv before the festival, and two festival days fall on Thursday and Friday, one may make an eruv on the festival conditionally, saying: "If today is a weekday, let this be an eruv; if today is holy, my words are nothing." And the next day one says: "If today is holy, I already made an eruv yesterday; if today is a weekday, let this be an eruv." This applies to the two festival days observed in the diaspora, but not to the two days of Rosh Hashanah, for they are considered like one long day. (See below, section 528.)
א' עירובי חצירו' וא' שתופי מבואו' מערבין אותם בין השמשו' ואפילו אם כבר קיבל עליו תוספ' שבת ויש אוסרים אם קיבל עליו תוספת שבת:
Both eruv chatzeirot and shitufei mevoot may be established during twilight, even if one has already accepted the addition to Shabbat. Some authorities forbid this if one has already accepted the addition to Shabbat.
עירב לשנים לאחד מבעוד יום ונאכל העירוב בין השמשו' ולא' עירב בין השמשות שניהם קנו עירוב שלאותו שנאכל עירובו בין השמשו' אנו חושבין אותו לילה ולאותו שהניח עירובו בין השמשו' חושבים אותו יום אבל אם עירב עליו בין השמשו' ונאכל עירובו בין השמשו' אסור:
If one made an eruv for two people—for one person while it was still day and that eruv was consumed during twilight, and for another person during twilight—both have acquired their eruv. For the one whose eruv was consumed during twilight, we consider it night; for the one whose eruv was placed during twilight, we consider it day. However, if one made an eruv during twilight and it was consumed during twilight, it is forbidden.
