Commentary for Bava Metzia 25:6
משום דקשיא ליה כיון דאמרת בשטרי דלאו הקנאה כי ליתיה למלוה בהדיה לא כתבינן ליכא למיחש דאקרי וכתוב
[the right to the property] by [affixing] their signatures [to the document], even if it is not a deed of transfer, [Abaye's reason for this explanation being] that he objected [to R. Assi's version]: If you say that notes which are not deeds of transfer are not written when the lender is not present, then there is no ground for the apprehension that by some chance they may have been written [in the absence of the lender]. But [it may be asked]: What of [the other Mishnah] which we learnt: If one has found bills of divorcement given to wives, deeds of liberation given to slaves, wills of dying persons, deeds of gifts and receipts, one need not return them, as they may have been written and then cancelled, without being handed over [to the persons mentioned in the deeds].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. infra 18a; Git. 27a.
