    Look for rabbinic statements and attributed teachings, a turn toward a more precise resolution. The source text remains the primary evidence; this note offers a structured way to enter it rather than replacing close reading.

    Original text

    <b>דין המוצא גט בשוק למי יחזור אותו. ובו סעיף אחד:</b><br>המוצא גט אשה בשוק אם האשה נותנת סימן שאומרת נקב יש בצד אות פלוני ואומרת שכבר נתגרשה בו וממנה נפל יחזירוהו לה אפילו אם הבעל מכחישה ואומר שממנו נפל ולא גירשה מעולם אלא שצוה לכתבו ועדיין לא נתנו אפילו אם גם הוא נותן בו סימן ואם אינה נותנת בו סימן והבעל מכחישה לא יתנוהו לא לו ולא לה ואם הבעל מודה שכתבו ואומר שיתנוהו לה להתגרש במקום ובשעה שראוי להחזיר דליכא למיחש שמאחר נפל על פי מה שנתבאר בסימן קל"ב יתנוהו לה ותתגרש בו מעתה ואם לאו לא יתנהו לה ואם הוא מודה שנתגרשה בו והיא שואלת אותו לגבות בו כתובתה והוא אומר שכבר פרעה והחזירתו לו וממנו נפל מחזירו לה אפילו אינה אומרת נקב יש בצד אות פלונית רק בשאר סימן שאינו כ"כ מובהק כגון שאומרת כך וכך אצבעות באורך הגט או ברחבו או שאומרת מדת החוט הקשור בו אבל אם אמרה הגט היה ארוך או קצר ואינה מכוונת מדתו או החוט לבן או שחור או שאמרה שהוא מונח בחפיסה או בדלוסקמא אינו סימן להחזירו לה על ידו:

    If someone finds a woman's bill of divorce in the marketplace, if the woman gives a sign [it is hers], saying, "This hole is next to this letter," and she says she was already divorce with it and it fell off of her, they return it to her. [This is so] even if the husband contradicts her and says that it fell off of him and that he never divorced her ever, but rather he had commanded it to be written but he had yet to give it; even if he also gives a sign. If she does not give a sign, and the husband contradicts her, they don't give it to him, nor to her. And if the husband admits he wrote it, and says he they should give it to her for divorce, at a place and time that it is appropriate to return, for there is not what to suspect after it fell, according to what was explained in Siman 132, they can give it to her and she can be divorced from then on. If not, they should not give it to her. And if he admits he divorced her with it, and she requests of him that she should collect her ketubah, and he said that he already paid her and returned it to her and [the bill of divorce] fell from him, he returns it to her, even if she doesn't say, "This hole is next to this letter," but any other sign ( that does not so much ) show intimate knowledge [of what the bill of divorce looks like], such as her saying, "Such and such fingers are the length of the bill of divorce," or "[Such and such fingers are the width of the bill of divorce," or she says the measurement of the string-tie for it, or [whether] the string is white or black, or she says it was placed in a box or in a chest, those are not sign that are enough for him to return it to her.
