אלא אמר רב אשי ניחזי אנן אי בהבלא מיית הרי מיעט הבלא אי בחבטה מיית הרי קירב הזיקא איכא דאמרי אמר רב אשי ניחזי אנן אי מההיא גיסא נפל הרי קירב הזיקא ואי מאידך גיסא נפל הרי מיעט הבלא:

Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A made an offer to buy manufactured articles from B at a certain price. B agreed to sell these at that price and delivered to A the key of the box in which the articles were placed. A now wants to withdraw his offer; may he still do so?
A. Accepting a key is not a formal act of possession, and A may, therefore, withdraw his offer. But, if after accepting the key of the box, A put the articles in the box and locked it, the sale is valid.
SOURCES: Pr. 835.
