Halakhah for Bava Batra 154:3

כי הא דרב פפא הוו ליה תריסר אלפי זוזי בי חוזאי אקנינהו ניהליה לרב שמואל בר אחא אגב אסיפא דביתיה כי אתא נפק לאפיה עד תווך:

deed<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Confirming the sale of the land. ');"><sup>7</sup></span> and possession!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' possession, by performing some kind of work on the estate, v. supra 42a. Now in view of the statement above that the deed is acquired irrespective of the place in which it is kept, how could Amemar and R. Ashi state that a deed can be acquired only by means of actual delivery? ');"><sup>8</sup></span> — [Acquiring a deed] on the basis [of land bought jointly with it] is different [from its independent acquisition]; for a coin which cannot be acquired by halifin<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'substitution'. One of the forms of possession consisting of a symbolical act: handing to the purchaser any object in substitution of the actual thing sold. ');"><sup>9</sup></span>

Sefer HaChinukh

The text of a contract of selling an obligation: I, x, sell you, y, the contract of the debt of z, in as z is in debt to me, as he is holding such and such; and you will acquire [the obligation] and all that is liened to it, by the force of this contract and the delivery of the contract. And if the contract is not in their hands, he gives over his possession of it, by way of its attachment to four ells of land. And [about] any oral contract, they, may their memory be blessed, said (Kiddushin 48a and see Tosafot on Bava Batra 77b:1, s.v. Rav Pappa) that it can only be acquired in the presence of the three of them (the creditor, the borrower and the purchaser of the obligation). And this is from the three things that they, may their memory be blessed, said (Gittin 14a) that they are traditional laws without an explanation.
