Reference for Gittin 99:5

אמר מר זוטרא בריה דרב נחמן משמיה דרב נחמן שט"ח היוצא על היתומין אע"פ שכתוב בו שבח אינו גובה אלא מן הזיבורית

Now if you suppose [that the Mishnah refers] to orphans [when it says that the woman collects from the poorest land], then the reason would be that they are orphans. Is this not a refutation of Mar Zutra? — It is.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And we therefore interpret the Mishnah to mean that a Kethubah is in all cases collected only from the worst land. ');"><sup>5</sup></span>
