This appendix to Avot could not possibly have been part of the Mishnah, since the statement "thirteen years old for mitzvot" is contradicted by numerous passages in the Mishnah and Tannaitic literature. In Tannaitic literature, some mitzvot were required in infancy, some as soon as the child was able to do or understand a certain mitzvah, some at age 12 for girls and 13 for boys, and some at age 20.
