Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot 9.8

משנה: הַפּוֹגֶמֶת כְּתוּבָּתָהּ כֵּיצַד. הָיְתָה כְתוּבָּתָהּ אֶלֶף זוּז וְאָמַר לָהּ הִתְקַבַּלְתְּ כְּתוּבָּתֵיךְ וְהִיא אוֹמֶרֶת לֹא הִתְקַבַּלְתִּי אֶלָּא מְנָה לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה. עֵד אֶחָד מֵעִידָהּ שֶׁהִיא פְרוּעָה כֵיצַד. הָיְְתָה כְתוּבָּתָהּ אֶלֶף זוּז וְאָמַר לָהּ הִתְקַבַּלְתְּ כְּתוּבָּתֵיךְ וְהִיא אוֹמֶרֶת לֹא הִתְקַבַּלְתִּי וְעֵד אֶחָד מֵעִידָהּ שֶׁהִיא פְרוּעָה לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה. מִנְּכָסִים הַמְשׁוּעְבָּדִים כֵּיצַד. מָכַר נְכָסָיו לַאֲחֵרִים וְהִיא נִפְרַעַת מִן הָלָקוֹחוֹת לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה. מִנִּכְסֵי יְתוֹמִים כֵּיצַד. מֵת וְהִנִּיחַ נְכָסָיו לִיתוֹמִים וְהִיא נִפְרַעַת מִן הַיְּתוֹמִים לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה. שֶׁלֹּא בְּפָנָיו כֵּיצַד. הָלַךְ לוֹ לִמְדִינַת הַיָּם וְהִיא נִפְרַעַת שֶׁלֹּא בְפָנָיו לֹא תִיפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה. רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר כָּל זְמַן שֶׁתּוֹבַעַת כְּתוּבָּתָהּ הַיּוֹרְשִׁין מַשְׁבִּיעִין אוֹתָהּ. אֵינָהּ תּוֹבַעַת כְּתוּבָּתָהּ אֵין הַיּוֹרְשִׁין מַשְׁבִּיעִין אוֹתָהּ.

MISHNAH: If she had compromised her ketubah, how is that? If her ketubah was 1‘000 zuz and he said to her, you received your ketubah, but she says, I received only one mina, she shall not be able to collect without an oath. If one witness testifies that [the ketubah] was paid, how is that? If her ketubah was 1‘000 zuz and he said to her, you received your ketubah, but she says, I received nothing, and one witness testifies that [the ketubah] was paid, she shall not be able to collect without an oath. From encumbered property, how is that? If he sold his real estate to others and she collects from the buyers, she shall not be able to collect without an oath. From orphans’ property, how is that? If he died and left his estate to the orphans, if she is paid out by the orphans she shall not be able to collect without an oath. Not in his presence, how is that? If he went overseas and she collects in his absence, she shall not be able to collect without an oath. Rebbi Simeon says, any time she asks for her ketubah, the heirs can require an oath from her. If she does not ask for her ketubah, the heirs cannot require an oath from her.

הלכה: הַפּוֹגֶמֶת כְּתוּבָּתָהּ כֵּיצַד. הָיְתָה כְתוּבָּתָהּ אֶלֶף זוּז כול׳. וְעֵד אֶחָד מֵעִידָהּ שֶׁהִיא פְרוּעָה כול׳. כֵּינִי מַתְנִיתָא. וְשֶׁלֹּא בְּפָנָיו לֹא תִיפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה.

HALAKHAH: “If she had compromised her ketubah, how is that? If her ketubah was l‘000 zuz,” etc. “If one witness testifies that [the ketubah] was paid,” etc. So is the Mishnah: “If she collects in his absence, she shall not be able to collect without an oath.”

וְהַנִּפְרַעַת שֶׁלֹּא בְּפָנָיו לֹא תִפָּרַע אֶלָּא בִשְׁבוּעָה. וְנִפְרָעִין מֵאָדָם שֶׁלֹּא בְפָנָיו. אָמַר רִבִּי יִרְמְיָה. תִּיפְתָּר בִּשְׁטָר שֶׁהָרִיבִּית אוֹכֶלֶת בּוֹ. וּבֵית דִּין גּוֹבִין רִבִּית. תִּיפְתָּר שֶׁעָרַב לוֹ מִן הַגּוֹי.

“If she collects in his absence, she shall not be able to collect without an oath.” Can one collect from a person in his absence? Rebbi Jeremiah says, explain it about a contract for which interest is due. Would the court collect interest? Explain it that it was guaranteed for a Gentile.

כְּהָדָא אַלֶכְסָא. אֲמַר לוֹ רִבִּי מָנָא. אֲנָן עָבְדִין טָבוֹת סַגִיא מִינְּכוֹן. אֲנָן כָתְבִין דִּין מוּגְמָרִין. אִין אֲתָא טַבָּאוֹת. וְאִין לָא אֲנָן מַחְלִטִין נִיכְסַיָיא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ. אַף אֲנָן עָבְדִין כֵן. אֲנָן מְשַׁלְּחִין בַּתְרֵיהּ תְּלָת אִיגְרִין. אִין אֲתָא הָא טַבָּאוֹת. וְאִין לָא אֲנָן מַחְלִטִין נִיכְסַיָיא. אֲמַר לֵיהּ. הַגַּע עַצְמָךְ דַּהֲוָה בַאֲתָר רְחִיק. אֲנָן מְשַׁלְּחִין בַּתְרֵיהּ תְּלָת אִיגְרִין. חָדָא גַוְא תַּלְתִין וְחָדָא גַוְ תַּלְתִין וְחָדָא גַוְ תַּלְתִין. אִין אֲתָא הָא טַבָּאוֹת. וְאִילָא אֲנָן מַחְלִטִין נִיכְסַיָיא. אָמַר רִבִּי מַתַּנְיָה. וְהוּא שֶׁעָמַד בַּדִין וּבָרַח. אֲבָל אִם לֹא עָמַד בַּדִין וּבָרַח לֵית כָּאן מַחְלִטִין אֶלָּא מַכְרִזִין.

Alexis said before Rebbi Mana: We act much better than you do. We send edicts. If he comes, it is good. If he does not come, we irrevocably give away his properties. He answered him, we also act in this way, we have the herald announce for thirty days. If he comes, it is good. If he does not come, we irrevocably give away his properties. He said to him, think of it, if he was in distant corners. He said to him, we send three letters, one after thirty days, one after the next thirty days, and one after the next thirty days. If he comes, it is good. If he does not come, we irrevocably give away his properties. Rebbi Ḥanina said, that is, if he was present at the trial and then fled. But if he was not present at the trial, we cannot irrevocably give away, but only announce.

אַשְׁכָּחַת אֲמַר. חָנָן וְרִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אָמְרוּ דָבָר אֶחָד. כְּמַה דָמַר (רִבִּי) חָנָן. לֹא תִשְׁבַּע אֶלָּא בְסוֹף. כֵּן רִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אָמַר. לֹא תִשְׁבַּע אֶלָּא בְסוֹף. כְּמָא דְאַתְּ אֲמַר. הֲלָכָה כְחָנָן. וְהָכָא הֲלָכָה כְרִבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן.

You find that one may say that Ḥanan and Rebbi Simeon said the same thing. Just as Ḥanan said, she shall swear only at the end, so Rebbi Simeon says, she shall swear only at the end. Just as you say, practice follows Ḥanan, so here practice follows Rebbi Simeon.
