R'Papi said in the name of Raba: The law is: If one lends his neighbour before witnesses, he must repay him before witnesses. But R'Papa said in the name of Raba: If one lends his neighbour before witnesses he need not repay him before witnesses; but if he said to him: 'Do not repay me except before witnesses,' he must repay him before witnesses; and if he says to him: 'I repaid you before So-and-so and So-and-so, and they went to a country beyond the seas,' he is believed.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The reading in text alternates between 'he is believed' and 'he is not believed,' v.
