מתיב רבא העיד רבי יוסי הכהן ור' זכריה בן הקצב על בת ישראל שהורהנה באשקלון וריחקוה בני משפחתה ועדיה מעידים אותה שלא נסתרה ושלא נטמאה ואמרו להם חכמים אם אתם מאמינים שהורהנה האמינו שלא נסתרה ושלא נטמאה ואם אי אתם מאמינים שלא נסתרה ושלא נטמאה אל תאמינו שהורהנה

Rava objected: R. Yose the priest and R. Zechariah b. HaKatzav testified regarding an Israelite woman, who had been taken as collateral in Ashkelon and her family distanced her and her witnesses testified that she had not been secluded [with a man] and that she was not defiled [by a man]. And the Sages said to them: If you believe [the witnesses] that she had been taken as collateral, believe [them also] that she was not secluded and that she was not defiled, and if you do not believe [them] that she was not secluded and that she was not defiled, do not believe [them] that she was pledged.
