Commentary for Ketubot 62:2

אלא הא מני בן עזאי היא דאמר מהלך כעומד דמי אבל זורק מאי פטור ניפלוג [וניתני] בדידה במה דברים אמורים במהלך אבל זורק פטור

Rather, whose opinion is this? It is Ben Azzai who said that one who walks is like one who stands. [But] what would be the rule if he threw [the purse]? He would be exempt [from payment]. Let him then make the distinction in the same case: When was this said? When he walked, but when he threw it, he is exempt.
