Commentary for Megillah 37:9

איתיביה אביי בן כרך שהלך לעיר בין כך ובין כך קורא כמקומו בן כרך ס"ד באם עתיד לחזור תליא מילתא אלא לאו בן כפר

Abaye raised an objection: If a resident of a walled city went to a town, in any case he reads according to the custom of his own place. “A resident of a walled city” would you really think? His rule depends on whether he means to return. Rather, this is “a villager.”
