Commentary for Kiddushin 97:4
ר' אלעזר דתנן האשה שאמרה התקבל לי גיטי ממקום פלוני וקבל לה גיטה ממקום אחר פסול ורבי אלעזר מכשיר אלמא קסבר מראה מקום היא לו
One Master holds that he particularised; the other, that he indicated a place to him.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., gave him a general intimation that he wanted a divorce to be indited.');"><sup>5</sup></span> R'Eleazar' - for we learnt: If a woman says: 'Accept a divorce on my behalf at such and such a place,' and he accepts it elsewhere: R'Eleazar ruled it valid. This shews that he holds that she merely indicated a place to him.'
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Ashi explains the disagreement between the first tanna and R. Shimon b. Gamaliel. The first opinion holds that if both types of documents are customary in that particular place and the husband asked to make a particular one and the scribe makes the other kind, the get is invalid. R. Shimon b. Gamaliel says that he does not really care, he was merely “indicating a place.”
