Commentary for Gittin 8:7
לא תימא הא באותה מדינה במדינת הים לא צריך אלא אימא ממדינה למדינה בארץ ישראל לא צריך
and that is why the Mishnah had to put in the clause 'from governorship to governorship'. Now this ruling conforms with the view of Raba, [does it not,] but conflicts with that of Rabbah? — Rabbah accepts Raba's reason also.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that Rabbah requires the declaration to be made in all cases in which Raba requires it, but not vice versa.

Tosafot on Gittin
"We learned in the mishna: One who brings a bill of divorce from one region to another region within a country overseas" - And from the first part of the Mishna "One who brings a bill of divorce from a country overseas" implies specifically from a country overseas to the land of Israel. It is not possible to apply [this rule (of saying it was written and signed before me)] that really in the same country overseas one also needs [to say it was written and signed before me]. This [example (of one who brings a bill of divorce from a country overseas)] was taken to exclude Rekem and Heger [from the rule of saying it was written and signed before me].
