A loan not in danger of being lost, by document46Babli Bava qamma102a.. Even a loan by document is in danger of being lost, for not at all times does a person succeed in liquidating his debt47Quoted in Tosaphot 2a, s.v. ולפרוע.. How is this? A loan not in danger of being lost, by pledge. A loan in danger of being lost, not by pledge. It was found following the former [opinion]: A loan in danger of being lost, by witnesses.
