Commentary for Ketubot 213:6

תנן מי שהלך למדינת הים ואשתו תובעת מזונות חנן אמר תשבע בסוף ולא תשבע בתחלה נחלקו עליו בני כהנים גדולים ואמרו תשבע בתחלה ובסוף עד כאן לא פליגי אלא לענין שבועה אבל מזוני יהבינן לה תרגמה שמואל בששמעו בו שמת

We learned: If a man went to a country beyond the sea and his wife claimed maintenance: Hanan says: she must take an oath at the end but not at the beginning. The sons of the high priests differed from him and ruled that she must take an oath both at the beginning and at the end. They thus differ only in respect of the oath but they do not disagree that maintenance must be given to her? Shmuel explained [this to refer to a case] where they heard that he was dead.
