הָהוּא אַרְבָּא דַּהֲווֹ מִינְּצוּ עֲלַהּ בֵּי תְרֵי, הַאי אָמַר: ״דִּידִי הִיא״, וְהַאי אָמַר: ״דִּידִי הִיא״. אֲתָא חַד מִינַּיְיהוּ לְבֵי דִינָא, וְאָמַר: תִּיפְסוּהָ אַדְּמַיְיתֵינָא סָהֲדֵי דְּדִידִי הִיא. תָּפְסִינַן, אוֹ לָא תָּפְסִינַן? רַב הוּנָא אָמַר: תָּפְסִינַן. רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר: לָא תָּפְסִינַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The Gemara relates: There was **a certain boat that two** people **were quarreling** about with regard to **its** ownership. **This** one **said: It is mine, and that** one also **said: It is mine. One of them came to court and said: Seize it until I** am able to **bring witnesses that it is mine.** The Gemara asks: In such a case, do **we seize** it **or** do **we not seize** it? **Rav Huna said: We seize** it. **Rav Yehuda said: We** do **not seize** it, as there is no cause for the court to intervene.

אֲזַל, וְלָא אַשְׁכַּח סָהֲדֵי. אֲמַר לְהוּ: אַפְּקוּהָ, וְכֹל דְּאַלִּים גָּבַר. מַפְּקִינַן, אוֹ לָא מַפְּקִינַן? רַב יְהוּדָה אָמַר: לָא מַפְּקִינַן. רַב פָּפָּא אָמַר: מַפְּקִינַן. וְהִלְכְתָא: לָא תָּפְסִינַן, וְהֵיכָא דִּתְפַס – לָא מַפְּקִינַן.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The court seized the boat. The one who requested of the court to seize it **went** to seek witnesses, **but did not find witnesses.** He then **said to** the court: **Release** the boat, **and whoever is stronger prevails,** as this is the ruling in a case where there is neither evidence nor presumptive ownership for either litigant. The Gemara asks: In such a case, do **we release** it **or** do **we not release** it? **Rav Yehuda said: We** do **not release** it. **Rav Pappa said: We release** it. The Gemara concludes: **And the *halakha*** is that **we** do **not seize** property in a case where ownership is uncertain, **and where** it was **seized, we** do **not release** it.

זֶה אוֹמֵר: ״שֶׁל אֲבוֹתַי״, וְזֶה אוֹמֵר: ״שֶׁל אֲבוֹתַי״ – אָמַר רַב נַחְמָן: כֹּל דְּאַלִּים גָּבַר. וּמַאי שְׁנָא מִשְּׁנֵי שְׁטָרוֹת הַיּוֹצְאִין בְּיוֹם אֶחָד –

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
There was an incident where two people dispute the ownership of property. **This** one **says:** It **belonged to my ancestors** and I inherited it from them, **and that** one **says:** It **belonged to my ancestors** and I inherited it from them. There was neither evidence nor presumptive ownership for either litigant. **Rav Naḥman said: Whoever is stronger prevails.** The Gemara asks: **And** in **what** way **is** this case **different from** the case where two people produce **two deeds** of sale or gift for the same field **that are issued on one day,**
