Commentary for Bava Batra 122:8

וצריכא דאי אשמעינן בית משום דהא תשמישתא לחוד והא תשמישתא לחוד אבל בקעה דכולה חדא תשמישתא היא אימא כוליה זבין ליה

but in the case of the stretch of fields and the field where the whole [stretch] is used for the same purpose I might say that the whole is sold. And if I had only the rule about the stretch of fields, I might think that the reason [why it is not all sold] is because it is difficult to mark off one field [in the middle of a stretch], but in the case of the apartment, where he could easily have marked it off and did not do so, I might think that he has sold him the whole. Hence both are necessary.
