For R'Gidal said in R'Hiyya B'Joseph's name in Rab's name: He who betroths from the sixth hour and onwards, even with wheat of Cordyene,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' A district lying to the east of the river Tigris, south of Armenia. - That wheat is very hard and does not easily become leaven; nevertheless if moisture had fallen upon it after being harvested it is regarded as leaven.');">³</span> we have no fear of his betrothal.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The betrothal is definitely invalid, because the wheat has no value because of the Rabbinical interdict, whereas for betrothal something of value is required (v. Kid. 2a) . - Thus although the interdict at that hour is only Rabbinical, the leaven is regarded as completely valueless; hence not under his ownership.');">⁴</span> But, is he unable to annul it after the prohibition [commences]?
