Midrash for Bava Metzia 61:1
באסרטיא ופרה רצה בין הכרמים הרי זו אבידה טלית בצד גדר קרדום בצד גדר ופרה רועה בין הכרמים אין זו אבידה ג' ימים זה אחר זה הרי זו אבידה ראה מים ששוטפין ובאין הרי זה גודר בפניהם
on a road, or a cow running among the vineyards it is lost property. [But if he finds] a garment at the side of a wall, or a spade at the side of a wall, or a cow grazing among the vineyards, it is not considered lost; yet [if he sees it] three consecutive days, it is lost. If one sees water overflowing [its banks] and proceeding [onwards], he must put up a wall<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., any obstacle to hinder its progress. ');"><sup>1</sup></span>
