דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ לְחַבְרֵיהּ: כׇּל נִכְסֵי דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין – מְזַבֵּינָא לָךְ. הֲוַאי הָהִיא אַרְעָא דַּהֲוָה מִיקְּרֵי ״דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין״. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: הָא לָאו דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין הִיא, וְאִיקְּרוֹיֵי הוּא דְּמִיקַּרְיָא ״דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין״. אֲתוֹ לְקַמֵּיהּ דְּרַב נַחְמָן, אוֹקְמָא בִּידָא דְלוֹקֵחַ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ רָבָא: דִּינָא הָכִי?! הַמּוֹצִיא מֵחֲבֵירוֹ עָלָיו הָרְאָיָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**who said to another: I** am hereby **selling to you all** of the **property** that I own **of the house of bar Sisin. There was a certain** parcel of **land that was called: Of the house of bar Sisin.** The seller **said to** the buyer: **This** parcel of land that I own is **not** actually **of the house of bar Sisin, and it is** merely **called: Of the house of bar Sisin,** and it is not included in the sale. **They came before Rav Naḥman** for judgment, and **he established** the land **in the possession of the buyer. Rava said to** Rav Naḥman: Is **this the *halakha*?** Isn’t the *halakha* that **the burden of proof rests upon the claimant,** and the land should remain in the possession of the seller?

קַשְׁיָא דְּרָבָא אַדְּרָבָא, קַשְׁיָא דְּרַב נַחְמָן אַדְּרַב נַחְמָן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara continues: There is **a difficulty** from one statement **of Rava to** another statement **of Rava,** and there is also **a difficulty** from one statement **of Rav Naḥman to** another statement **of Rav Naḥman,** as in the first case, where the claimant states that he had been in a distant location, Rav Naḥman ruled in favor of the claimant, and Rava ruled in favor of the possessor; while in the second case, that of the property of bar Sisin, their opinions were reversed.

דְּרָבָא אַדְּרָבָא לָא קַשְׁיָא – הָתָם מוֹכֵר קָאֵי בְּנִכְסֵיהּ, הָכָא לוֹקֵחַ קָאֵי בְּנִיכְסֵיהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: The contradiction between one statement **of Rava and** another statement **of Rava** is **not difficult,** because **there,** in the case of the property of bar Sisin, the **seller** had been **established** as having the land **in his property,** which is why Rava rules in his favor. But **here,** in the case where the claimant states that he had been in a distant location, the **buyer** is **established** as having the house **in his property.**

דְּרַב נַחְמָן אַדְּרַב נַחְמָן נָמֵי לָא קַשְׁיָא – כֵּיוָן דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ: דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין, וּמִיקַּרְיָא ״דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין״, עֲלֵיהּ דִּידֵיהּ רַמְיָא לְגַלּוֹיֵי דְּלָאו דְּבֵי בַּר סִיסִין הִיא; אֲבָל הָכָא, לֹא יְהֵא אֶלָּא דְּנָקֵיט שְׁטָרָא – מִי לָא אָמְרִינַן לֵיהּ: קַיֵּים שְׁטָרָךְ וְקוּם בְּנִיכְסֵי?

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The contradiction between one statement **of Rav Naḥman and** the other statement **of Rav Naḥman** is **not difficult as well,** because there, **since** the seller **said to him:** I am hereby selling you all of the property that I own **of the house of bar Sisin, and** this parcel of land is **called: Of the house of bar Sisin,** it is **incumbent on him to reveal that** the parcel under dispute is **not of the house of bar Sisin. But here,** in the case where the claimant states that he had been in a distant location, it **should not be** any **different** from a case **where** the possessor is **holding a document** as evidence that he purchased the house. **Wouldn’t we** then **say to him:** First **ratify your document, and** only then be **established in** the **property?** In this case as well, since his presumptive ownership is in place of a document, he needs to clarify the matter by means of witnesses.

הָהוּא דַּאֲמַר לֵיהּ לְחַבְרֵיהּ: מַאי בָּעֵית בְּהַאי בֵּיתָא? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מִינָּךְ זְבֵנְתֵּיהּ, וַאֲכַלְתֵּיהּ שְׁנֵי חֲזָקָה. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: בְּשׁוּקֵי בָּרָאֵי הֲוַאי. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: וְהָא אִית לִי סָהֲדִי דְּכֹל שַׁתָּא הֲוָה אָתֵית תְּלָתִין יוֹמֵי! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: תְּלָתִין יוֹמֵי – בְּשׁוּקַאי הֲוָה טְרִידְנָא. אָמַר רָבָא: עֲבִיד אִינִישׁ דְּכֹל תְּלָתִין יוֹמֵי טְרִיד בְּשׁוּקָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
There was **a certain** person **who said to another: What do you want with this house** of mine? The possessor **said to him: I purchased it from you and I** worked and **profited from it** for **the years** necessary for establishing the **presumption** of ownership. The claimant **said to** him: **I was in** the **outer marketplaces,** and was unaware that you were residing in my house, and therefore did not lodge a protest, so your profiting does not establish the presumption of ownership. The possessor **said to him: But I have witnesses that every year you would come** here for **thirty days** and had an opportunity to know that I was residing in your house and to lodge a protest. The claimant **said to him: I was occupied with** my business in the **marketplaces** for those **thirty days. Rava said: A person is apt** to be **occupied** with business **in the marketplace for all** of **thirty days,** and accepted his claim.

הָהוּא דְּאָמַר לֵיהּ לְחַבְרֵיהּ: מַאי בָּעֵית בְּהַאי אַרְעָא? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: מִפְּלָנְיָא זְבֵינְתַּהּ, דְּאָמַר לִי דְּזַבְנַהּ מִינָּךְ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אַתְּ לָאו קָא מוֹדֵית

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
There was **a certain** person **who said to another: What do you want with this land** of mine? The possessor **said to him: I purchased it from so-and-so, who told me that he purchased it from you.** The claimant **said to him: Don’t you concede**
