Siman 273 of 427 in Choshen Mishpat — 18 se'ifim

הלכות הפקר ונכסי הגרOwnerless Property· siman 273

Choshen Mishpat is set from the Lemberg 1898 edition, which is unpointed, so the vowels switch has nothing to remove here.

Se’if 1א׳

דין הזוכה מן ההפקר והפקר כיצד וכמה. ובו יח סעיפים: כל דבר של הפקר כל הקודם בו זכה בין שהוא דבר מופקר ועומד בין שהיו לו בעלים והפקירוהו:

The law of one who acquires from ownerless property, and ownerless property — how, and how much; it contains eighteen se'ifim. Anything ownerless — whoever comes first to it acquires it, whether it is a thing that has always stood ownerless or it had owners and they declared it ownerless.

Se’if 2ב׳

ההפקר אע"פ שאינו נדר הרי הוא כמו נדר שאסור לחזור בו:

A declaration of ownerlessness, although it is not a vow, is like a vow, in that it is forbidden to retract from it.

Se’if 3ג׳

ומה הוא ההפקר שיאמר אדם נכסי אלו הפקר לכל בין במטלטלים בין בקרקעות:

And what is a declaration of ownerlessness? That a man says, "These properties of mine are ownerless to all", whether movables or land.

…and 13 more se'ifim in this siman.
