Commentary for Kiddushin 53:3
ורב חייא בר אבין אמר רב הונא שלשה שטרות הן תרי הא דאמרן אידך אם קדם מוכר וכתב לו את השטר כאותה ששנינו כותבים שטר למוכר אע"פ שאין לוקח עמו כיון שהחזיק עמו בקרקע נקנה שטר בכל מקום שהוא
[Thus: If a man declares,] 'Acquire a title to this field on behalf of So-and-so, an indite a deed for him,'<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' As evidence of ownership.');"><sup>6</sup></span> he can retract from the deed<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Should he say: 'I do not wish him to have proof that the field is his.'');"><sup>7</sup></span> but not from the field.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Hiyya b. Abin adds in another type of document—one which the seller writes before the sale even occurs. In this case, once he transfers the land, the deed belongs to the buyer no matter where it is. This seems to prove that the movables (in this case the deed) need not be on the land, for the seller has transferred ownership of the field and through it he has transferred the document as well.
The Talmud rejects this as proof—the deed is like the land. It is not a different type of movable, like sheep or barrels. The deed is not transferred by being connected to the land—it simply is part of the transaction of the land.
