Responsa for Bava Batra 94:4

לאפוקי מדרב דאמר רב לא שנו אלא דאמר ליה לך חזק וקני אבל בשטר קנה

We already know as much from the following Mishnah: 'If a man buys a field from the sicaricon<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Commonly taken to be a corruption of sicarii, non-Jewish brigands who infested Palestine after the war of Bar Cochba; more probably. however (v.

Teshuvot Maharam

Q. A, the oldest brother in the family, who is in possession of his father's land, claims to have received it as a gift from him. He says that he was in undisturbed possession of it for many years before his father's death and for many years thereafter. Now his brothers want a share of the land. The local court decided in A's favor.
A. Since his brothers were young when their father died, A cannot claim undisturbed possession as proof of ownership for the period since his father's death, and must furnish documentary proof or witnesses to the effect that he enjoyed undisturbed possession for three years before his father's death.
