סוף סוף כיון דלעסיה קנייה מתחייב בנפשו לא הוי עד דבלעה כגון שתחב לו לתוך בית הבליעה היכי דמי אי דמצי לאהדורה ניהדר אי לא מצי לאהדורה אמאי חייב לא צריכא דמצי לאהדורה ע"י הדחק

[But] even then, as soon as he chewed it, he acquired it, but he is not liable for death until he has swallowed it! When [his friend] stuck it into his esophagus. What is this case? If he can give it back, let him give it back. And if he cannot give it back, why is he guilty? It is only necessary when he can give it back only with an effort.
