Commentary for Shabbat 203:9
רבה אמר חייב ואפילו לרבנן דאמרי יש ידיעה לחצי שיעור התם הוא דבידו אבל הכא דאין בידו לא ובמאי אי במעביר הרי בידו ואלא בזורק
But the statement, <small>THIS IS THE GENERAL PRINCIPLE,</small> is stated with reference to throwing? Rather said Raba: Two [contingencies] are taught. [Thus:] <small>IF ONE THROWS [AN ARTICLE] AND RECALLS</small> [that it is the Sabbath] after it leaves his hand, or even if he does not recall [it], but <small>ANOTHER CATCHES IT, OR A DOG CATCHES IT, OR IT IS BURNT, HE IS NOT LIABLE'</small> — R. Ashi said: It [the Mishnah] is defective, and teaches this: <small>'IF ONE THROWS [AN ARTICLE] AND RECALLS [THAT IT IS THE SABBATH] AFTER IT LEAVES HIS HAND, AND ANOTHER CATCHES IT, OR A DOG CATCHES IT, OR IT IS BURNT, HE IS NOT LIABLE.</small><span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This is all one, not as Raba interprets it.
