ר' אחי בר' יאשיה הוה ליה איספקא דכספא בנהרדעא

If a man says to another, Take to So-and-so the <i>maneh</i> which I owe him, give So-and-so the <i>maneh</i> which I owe him, take to So-and-so the <i>maneh</i> which he has given me in trust, give So-and-so the <i>maneh</i> which he has given me in trust, he remains responsible for the money, yet if he wishes to retract the commission he is not at liberty to do so. Why should he not be able to retract in the case of trust money, on the plea that [the depositor] does not desire his money to be in the hand of another [party]? — R. Zera answered: We assume that [the sender in this case] is known as a man who denies [his obligations].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And therefore the recipient is satisfied that the money should be in the hands of the hearer.

Hama [who was going there]: When you come back from there, bring the money with you. [R. Joseph] went [to them] and they gave him the money.
