Mishnah 1א׳

שְׁנֵי דַיָּנֵי גְזֵרוֹת הָיוּ בִירוּשָׁלַיִם, אַדְמוֹן וְחָנָן בֶּן אֲבִישָׁלוֹם. חָנָן אוֹמֵר שְׁנֵי דְבָרִים, אַדְמוֹן אוֹמֵר שִׁבְעָה. מִי שֶׁהָלַךְ לִמְדִינַת הַיָּם וְאִשְׁתּוֹ תוֹבַעַת מְזוֹנוֹת, חָנָן אוֹמֵר, תִּשָּׁבַע בַּסּוֹף וְלֹא תִשָּׁבַע בַּתְּחִלָּה. נֶחְלְקוּ עָלָיו בְּנֵי כֹהֲנִים גְּדוֹלִים וְאָמְרוּ, תִּשָּׁבַע בַּתְּחִלָּה וּבַסּוֹף. אָמַר רַבִּי דוֹסָא בֶן הַרְכִּינָס כְּדִבְרֵיהֶם. אָמַר רַבָּן יוֹחָנָן בֶּן זַכַּאי, יָפֶה אָמַר חָנָן, לֹא תִשָּׁבַע אֶלָּא בַסּוֹף:

There were two judges of decrees in Jerusalem, Admon and Chanan ben Avishalom. [They made decrees against robbers and imposed penalties upon them.] Chanan says two things [with which the sages do not concur]; Admon says seven. If one went abroad and his wife claimed food, Chanan says: She swears at the end [When they hear that he died, and she comes to claim her kethubah, she swears that she did not hold back aught belonging to her husband.], and she does not swear at the beginning [when she claims food. Rambam explains: "She swears at the end": When her husband comes and denies what she says, saying that he did leave her food, she swears that he had left her nothing.] The sons of the high-priests differed with him, saying that she swears in the beginning and at the end. R. Dossa b. Harkinas ruled in accordance with them. R. Yochanan b. Zakkai said: Chanan said well. She swears only at the end [and the halachah is in accordance with him. And it is only after three months from the husband's going abroad that food is provided for his wife if she claims food; but not before this time. For it is assumed that a man does not go abroad, leaving his house "empty."]

Mishnah 2ב׳

מִי שֶׁהָלַךְ לִמְדִינַת הַיָּם וְעָמַד אֶחָד וּפִרְנֵס אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ, חָנָן אוֹמֵר, אִבֵּד אֶת מְעוֹתָיו. נֶחְלְקוּ עָלָיו בְּנֵי כֹהֲנִים גְּדוֹלִים וְאָמְרוּ, יִשָּׁבַע כַּמָּה הוֹצִיא וְיִטֹּל. אָמַר רַבִּי דוֹסָא בֶן הַרְכִּינָס כְּדִבְרֵיהֶם. אָמַר רַבָּן יוֹחָנָן בֶּן זַכַּאי, יָפֶה אָמַר חָנָן, הִנִּיחַ מְעוֹתָיו עַל קֶרֶן הַצְּבִי:

If a man went abroad and one arose and fed his wife, Chanan says: He has lost his money. [For he (the husband) says: I did not say to you: Lend me and I will repay you. But if he lent the woman money for her food on condition that she repay him, he claims it from her, and she claims it from her husband, and he pays. And if the husband claims: I left her food, and she denies it and desires to extract it (payment) from him, the husband swears an oath of equity (shevuath heseth) and exempts himself, and the money (lent her) is a debt to be paid when she is widowed or divorced.] The sons of the high-priests differed with him, saying: He (the lender) swears how much he lent and he takes it (in payment). R. Dossa b. Harkinas ruled in accordance with them. R. Yochanan b. Zakkai said: Chanan said well. He (the lender) placed his money on "the horn of a deer."
