כְּאוֹתָהּ שֶׁשָּׁנִינוּ: כּוֹתְבִין שְׁטָר לַמּוֹכֵר אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין לוֹקֵחַ עִמּוֹ. כֵּיוָן שֶׁהֶחְזִיק זֶה בַּקַּרְקַע – נִקְנָה שְׁטָר בְּכׇל מָקוֹם שֶׁהוּא; וְזוֹ הִיא שֶׁשָּׁנִינוּ: נְכָסִים שֶׁאֵין לָהֶן אַחְרָיוּת נִקְנִין עִם נְכָסִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהֶן אַחְרָיוּת, בְּכֶסֶף וּשְׁטָר וַחֲזָקָה!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
This is **like that which we learned** in a mishna (167b): A scribe **may write a bill** of sale **for the seller even if the buyer is not with him** when the seller presents his request. In a case of this kind, **once this** buyer **takes possession of the land the deed is acquired wherever it is. And this is that which we learned** in another mishna (*Kiddushin* 26a): **Property that does not serve as a guarantee,** i.e., movable property, can be **acquired** together **with property that serves as a guarantee,** i.e., land, when the land is acquired **by** means of giving **money, or** by means of giving **a document, or** by means of taking **possession.** This shows that a bill of sale can be transferred without any act of acquisition performed for the document, and certainly through words, which presents a difficulty to Rav Ashi’s opinion.

אַגַּב שָׁאנֵי; דְּהָא מַטְבֵּעַ – דְּלָא נִיקְנֵי בַּחֲלִיפִין, וְאַגַּב אַרְעָא נִיקְנֵי.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara answers: Acquiring a bill of sale **by means of** acquisition of land **is different,** as it is similar to acquisition through an item, not by means of words. The reason is **that money, which cannot be acquired through** symbolic **exchange,** a pro forma act of acquisition effecting the transfer of ownership of an item, nevertheless **can be acquired by means of land.**

כִּי הָא דְּרַב פָּפָּא הֲווֹ לֵיהּ תְּרֵיסַר אַלְפֵי זוּזֵי בֵּי חוֹזָאֵי, אַקְנִינְהוּ נִיהֲלֵיהּ לְרַב שְׁמוּאֵל בַּר אַחָא אַגַּב אַסִּיפָּא דְבֵיתֵיהּ. כִּי אֲתָא, נְפַק לְאַפֵּיהּ עַד תְּווֹךְ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
This is **like that** incident **where Rav Pappa had** deposited **twelve thousand dinars** with bailees **in Bei Ḥozai. He transferred** ownership of the money in Bei Ḥozai **to** his agent **Rav Shmuel bar Aḥa by means of the threshold of his house.** The Gemara adds: **When** Rav Shmuel bar Aḥa **came** from Bei Ḥozai with the money, Rav Pappa was so happy that he was bringing him his money that he **went out** all the way **until Tavakh to** greet **him.**

אֲבָל לֹא מָכַר לֹא אֶת הָעֲבָדִים וְלֹא אֶת הַמַּרְצוּפִין וְלֹא אֶת הָאַנְתִיקֵי וְכוּ׳. מַאי ״אַנְתִיקֵי״? אָמַר רַב פָּפָּא: עִיסְקָא דִּבְגַוַּוהּ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
§ The mishna teaches that when one sells a ship he has sold various other items; **but he has not sold the slaves, nor the packing bags, nor the *antikei*.** But when one said to the buyer: You are purchasing the ship and all that it contains, all of these are sold as well. The Gemara asks: **What** is the meaning of ***antikei*? Rav Pappa said:** It means **the merchandise that is on** the ship. This merchandise is not sold together with the ship.

**מַתְנִי׳** מָכַר אֶת הַקָּרוֹן – לֹא מָכַר אֶת הַפְּרָדוֹת, מָכַר אֶת הַפְּרָדוֹת – לֹא מָכַר אֶת הַקָּרוֹן. מָכַר אֶת הַצֶּמֶד – לֹא מָכַר אֶת הַבָּקָר, מָכַר אֶת הַבָּקָר – לֹא מָכַר אֶת הַצֶּמֶד. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר: הַדָּמִים מוֹדִיעִין. כֵּיצַד? אָמַר לוֹ: ״מְכוֹר לִי צִימְדָּךְ בְּמָאתַיִם זוּז״ – הַדָּבָר יָדוּעַ שֶׁאֵין הַצֶּמֶד בְּמָאתַיִם זוּז. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים: אֵין הַדָּמִים רְאָיָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**MISHNA:** One who **sold a wagon [*hakkaron*] has not sold the mules** that pull the wagon. Similarly, if one **sold the mules, he has not sold the wagon.** One who **sold a yoke [*hatzemed*] has not sold the oxen,** and one who **sold the oxen has not sold the yoke. Rabbi Yehuda says: The** sum of **money indicates** what one has sold. **How so?** If the buyer **said to** the seller: **Sell me your yoke for two hundred dinars,** since **it is a known matter that a yoke is not** sold **for two hundred dinars** he clearly intended to purchase the oxen as well. **And the Rabbis say: The** sum of **money is not proof.**

**גְּמָ׳** תָּנֵי רַב תַּחְלִיפָא בַּר מַעְרְבָא קַמֵּיהּ דְּרַבִּי אֲבָהוּ: מָכַר אֶת הַקָּרוֹן – מָכַר אֶת הַפְּרָדוֹת. וְהָא אֲנַן ״לֹא מָכַר״ תְּנַן! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אִיסְמְיַיהּ? אֲמַר לֵיהּ: לָא, תִּיתַּרְגֵּם מַתְנִיתָיךְ בַּאֲדוּקִין בּוֹ.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**GEMARA:** **Rav Taḥlifa, from the West,** i.e., Eretz Yisrael, **taught** a *baraita* **before Rabbi Abbahu.** If one **sold a wagon, he has sold the mules** together with it. Rabbi Abbahu asked: **But didn’t we learn** in the mishna that **he has not sold** the mules? Rav Taḥlifa **said to him:** Should **I erase** this *baraita*, as it is incorrect? Rabbi Abbahu **said to him: No,** do not erase it; you should **explain** that **your *baraita*** is referring to a case **where** the mules **are fastened to** the wagon. In that situation, one who purchases the wagon receives the mules as well.

מָכַר אֶת הַצֶּמֶד – לֹא מָכַר אֶת הַבָּקָר וְכוּ׳. הֵיכִי דָמֵי? אִילֵּימָא דְּקָרוּ לְצִימְדָּא ״צִימְדָּא״ וּלְבָקָר ״בָּקָר״ – פְּשִׁיטָא; צִימְדָּא זַבֵּין לֵיהּ, בָּקָר לָא זַבֵּין לֵיהּ! וְאֶלָּא דְּקָרוּ לֵיהּ נָמֵי לְבָקָר ״צִימְדָּא״? כּוּלֵּיהּ זַבֵּין לֵיהּ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The mishna teaches: One who **sold a yoke has not sold the oxen;** and the Rabbis and Rabbi Yehuda disagree over whether the sum of money proves exactly what was sold. The Gemara analyzes their disagreement: **What are the circumstances? If we say** that the mishna is referring to a place **where they call a yoke: *Tzimda*, and** they call **oxen: *Bakar*,** it is **obvious** that **he sold him a yoke** and **did not sell him** the **oxen. But** if the mishna is referring to a place **where they also call oxen: *Tzimda*,** then the seller **sold him everything.**

לָא צְרִיכָא, בְּאַתְרָא דְּקָרוּ לֵיהּ לְצִימְדָּא ״צִימְדָּא״ וּלְבָקָר ״בָּקָר״, וְאִיכָּא נָמֵי דְּקָרוּ לְבָקָר ״צִימְדָּא״; רַבִּי יְהוּדָה סָבַר: הַדָּמִים מוֹדִיעִין, וְרַבָּנַן סָבְרִי: אֵין הַדָּמִים רְאָיָה. וְאִי אֵין הַדָּמִים רְאָיָה, לֶיהֱוֵי בִּיטּוּל מִקָּח!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara explains: **No,** their dispute is **necessary in a place where they call a yoke: *Tzimda*, and** call **oxen: *Bakar*, but there are also** those **who call oxen: *Tzimda*.** Since it is unclear what is meant by the term: *Tzimda*, **Rabbi Yehuda holds** that **the** sum of **money indicates** whether he purchased a yoke or oxen, **and the Rabbis hold** that **the** amount of **money does not** serve as **proof.** The Gemara asks: **But if the** amount of **money does not** serve as **proof,** then in a case where the buyer paid two hundred dinars and received only a yoke, **let** the **transaction be nullified.**
