ו תסתיים דרב דאמר אם רצו לזמן אין מזמנין דאמר רב דימי בר יוסף אמר רב שלשה שאכלו כאחת ויצא אחד מהם לשוק קוראין לו ומזמנין עליו טעמא דקוראין לו הא לא קוראין לו לא
6 It is to be concluded that it was Rab who said above, "If they wish to arrange Zimmun, they may not" ; for Rab Dimai b. Joseph said in the name of Rab : If three ate together, and one of them went out into the street, they call to him [that they desire to include him for Zimmun, and should he consent, even in his absence] they may reckon him in for Zimmun. The reason [why they can have Zimmun without him is] that they called to him ; hence if they did not call to him, they are not [to have Zimmun].
