ומיחל ושותה מיד דברי ר"מ רבי יהודה ורבי יוסי ורבי שמעון אוסרין

and he then begins<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' v. Tosaf. s.v. ');">¹</span>

תולה בדעת אחרים אית ליה ברירה דתנן מה היא באותן הימים

to drink from it at once. This is the ruling of R. Meir. R. Judah and R. Jose and R. Simeon, however, prohibit [him from doing so].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Which shows that he cannot decide retrospectively. (For fuller notes v. B.K. (Sonc. ed.) p. 399.) ');">²</span>

ר' יהודה אומר הרי היא כאשת איש לכל דבריה ולכי מיית הוי גיטא

That [according to R. Judah] we do decide retrospectively where he leaves the choice to others [is shown by the following Mishnah].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Infra 83b. ');">³</span>

אמר ליה רב משרשיא לרבא הא ר"ש דתולה בדעת עצמו לית ליה ברירה ותולה בדעת אחרים אית ליה ברירה

For we learnt: 'What is the status of the woman [who has received a conditional Get<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., if he says to her, 'This shall be thy Get from now if I die.' V. infra 72a. ');">⁴</span>

');">⁶</span> R. Mesharsheya said further to Raba: There is also R. Simeon who holds that when the man keeps the choice in his own hands we do not decide retrospectively, but when he leaves the choice to others he holds that we do. That according to R. Simeon we do not decide retrospectively when he keeps the choice in his own hands [is shown] by [the teaching] just quoted. That [according to him] where he leaves the choice to others we do so decide is shown by the following [teaching]: [If a man says to a woman], I betroth thee by means of this intercourse<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' This being one of the methods of affiancing; v. Kid. ad. init. ');">⁷</span> on condition that thy father consents, even if the father does not consent she is betrothed. R. Simeon b. Judah said in the name of R. Simeon that if the father consents she is betrothed,
