Commentary for Kiddushin 100:5
איכא דאמרי אמר רבה מנא אמינא לה כדקתני טעמא שמחמת קידושין הראשונים שלח הכא הוא דטעי הא בעלמא הוו קידושין
From the reason stated: BECAUSE THEY WERE SENT ON ACCOUNT OF THE FIRST KIDDUSHIN: hence, it is [only] here, because he may err;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thinking the first kiddushin valid.');"><sup>8</sup></span> but elsewhere,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Where no kiddushin preceded the gifts.');"><sup>9</sup></span> they [the gifts] may be kiddushin.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
In this version, Rabbah uses the mishnah as a proof that gifts may be considered kiddushin. Only when they are sent because of a mistaken act are they not. This is similar to Abaye’s statement in the first version.
