Commentary for Bava Metzia 197:7
נימא מסייע ליה השאילני פרתך ואמר ליה ביד מי ואמר ליה הכישה במקל והיא תבא כיון שיצאת מרשות משאיל ומתה חייב
[If A said to B,] 'Lend me your cow, and he asked him, 'By whose hand [shall I send it]?' to which he replied, 'Hit it with a stick, and it will come:' once it leaves the lender's possessions and it dies, he [the borrower] is responsible? — R. Ashi said: [No. For] we deal here with a case where the borrower's court was within the lender's, so that when he sends it, it will certainly go there.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The borrower's courtyard led into the lender's; in that case he assumes responsibility. But if part of the highway is to be traversed, he would not assume responsibility. The Baraitha accordingly affords no support to Rab. ');"><sup>6</sup></span>
