Commentary for Gittin 161:5
וכי קרו לנתינה כתיבה לכתיבה גופה מי לא קרו לה כתיבה
— He sent back a reply: She must leave him, but [first] the case must be examined. What are we to understand by this? Shall we say that we examine whether we can put a stop to the rumour or not? [This cannot be] because Samuel lived in Nehardea, and in Nehardea it was not the rule [of the <i>Beth din</i>] to put a stop to rumours.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. infra 89.
