Commentary for Gittin 27:6

מכלל דאי בעי הדר ביה מצי הדר ביה ה"ק דברים הללו לא ניתנו לחזרה

cannot be retracted. But this has already been laid down by Rab, since R. Huna said in the name of Rab: If a man says to another, You have a <i>maneh</i> of mine in your possession, give it to So-and-so, if he says this in the presence of the third party, [the latter] becomes legal owner? — If I had only that dictum to go by, I should suppose that this rule applies only to a big gift, but that for a small one it is not necessary for the third party to be present: now I know [that this is not so].
