Reference for Ketubot 39:4

אמר רב אשי אוקי תרי להדי תרי ואוקי ממונא בחזקת בר שטיא ולא אמרן אלא דאית ליה חזקה דאבהתיה אבל לית ליה חזקה דאבהתיה אמרינן כשהוא שוטה זבן וכשהוא שוטה זבין

R. Ashi said: Set the two [witnesses] against the two [witnesses] and leave the property in the possession of the lunatic. And we say this only when he has the presumption of ownership from his ancestors, but if he does not have the presumption of ownership of his ancestors, we say that he bought [the property] when he was insane and that he sold [it] when he was insane.
