א"ל מר קשישא בריה דרב חסדא לרב אשי ת"ש שכיב מרע שאמר תנו מאתים זוז לפלוני וג' מאות לפלוני וד' מאות לפלוני אין אומרים כל הקודם בשטר זכה לפיכך יצא עליו שט"ח גובה מכולן
where there is no question of loss to purchasers, or do we say this even in the case of a gift for if the recipient did not derive some benefit from it it would not have been given to him and therefore his loss is on the same footing as the loss of the purchaser? — [In reply] Mar Kashisha the son of R. Hisda said to R. Ashi: Come and hear 'If a dying man says, Give two hundred <i>zuz</i> to So-and-so, three hundred to So-and-so, and four hundred to So-and-so, we do not say that one who is mentioned earlier in the deed has a superior title to one who is mentioned later.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Tosaf. points out that if the three gifts were equal we should say that he intended the earlier to take precedence, as otherwise he would have said, Give six hundred zuz to So-and-so and So-and-so and So-and-so.
