Our daf tells of a woman who was selling varshkhei. A man came and snatched some of the varshkhei. When she demanded that he return them he said, “If I return them will you marry me?” She took them back from him without saying anything. Rav Naḥman ruled that there was no marriage in this case, since the woman can claim that she was taking something that in any case belonged to her.

We explore the notion of qui tacet consentire videtur

And the wonderful discovery of Babatha in the Judeaen desert.
