Reference for Sanhedrin 80:18
ור' יוסי אמש הרגו שכיח ברוב עדיות עכשיו הרגו לא שכיח ברוב עדיות:
[and again] Behold if it be truth and the thing certain:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid. XVII, 4, with reference to the idolater. ');"><sup>35</sup></span> this gives eleven [expressions implying inquiry].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For 'if it be truth' implies that a question is put to ascertain it; likewise,'and (if) the thing (be) certain' implies another question; hence the two sentences imply another four questions, in addition to the seven. ');"><sup>36</sup></span>
