Commentary for Gittin 124:6
דס"ד אמינא הואיל ובעל לאו בר שויה שליח לקבלה הוא אע"ג דמטא גיטא לידה לא להוי גיטא קמ"ל דהתקבל והולך קאמר
<b><i>GEMARA</i></b>. R. Aha the son of R. 'Awia said to R. Ashi: The reason why [in the first case the husband may retract] is because she [the wife] did not make [the man] her agent for receiving [the Get], from which we infer that if she had made him the agent for receiving [the Get], the husband would not be at liberty to retract. This would show that 'convey' is equivalent to 'take possession of' [would it not]?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For otherwise, the Get would still belong to the husband and he could withdraw it so long as it had not reached the wife's hand, v. supra 14a. ');"><sup>5</sup></span>
