Question: (Our Mishnah said that if one made his slave an Apotiki, and he freed him... for Tikun ha'Olam, we force the master to write a Get Shichrur.) Who freed him?

Answer #1 (Rav): It can be his first master (the borrower) or the second master (the lender. In either case, the Takanah applies.)

Answer #2 (R. Yochanan): Only his first master freed.

Question (R. Chagai, to R. Yosi): A Mishnah argues with Rav!

(Mishnah): If a Yisrael lent to a Nochri relying on [the Nochri's] Chametz for collateral, after Pesach, one may benefit from it;

If you will say that it is in the Yisrael's Reshus (due to his rights to collect from it), it should be forbidden!

Question: How can Rav answer this?

Answer (R. Yudan): This is a leniency of freedom. (Even though he is not in the latter's Reshus, Chachamim enacted that if he freed him, he goes free.)

Support (Beraisa): If one made his slave an Apotiki, and he sold him, he is not sold. If he freed him, he is freed. (According to letter of the law, if he is able to free him, he can sell him! Rather, this is a leniency of freedom.)

R. Yochanan learns from [our Mishnah -] R. Shimon ben Gamliel says, only the one who freed him writes [that he owes the value of the slave. This cannot be the second master. To whom would he write? He caused a loss only to himself!]

Question: (Why can't the lender take the slave even after the first freed him?) If a borrower] gave [the lender] a lien on his field, and he went and sold it, does the creditor not take it?! (We explained this like PNEI MOSHE.)

Answer (R. Avahu): R. Yochanan opened for us a hole that illuminates greatly! We do not find a slave who is freed and returns to servitude.

Question: If so, the slave should not need to write a document [obligating himself] for his value! (Why does the first Tana say that he does?)

Answer (R. Ila): It is better that [the creditor] say to him 'give to me 200 Zuz that you owe me', than that he tell him 'you are my slave.'

(Rabanan of Kisarin citing R. Bisa): R. Shimon ben Gamliel [who says that the one who freed him writes] holds like R. Meir;

Just like R. Meir fines for words [that cause a loss, i.e. Dina d'Garmi], so R. Shimon ben Gamliel fines for words. (RIDVAZ)

(Beraisa): A document with Ribis - we fine him, and he does not collect the principal or the Ribis. R. Meir says so;

Chachamim say, he collects the principal, but not the Ribis.
