רַבִּי חִזְקִיָּה הֲוָה אָזִיל מִקַּפּוֹטְקִיָּא לְלוּד. פָּגַע בֵּיהּ רַבִּי יֵיסָא. אָמַר לֵיהּ תְּוַוהְנָא עֲלָךְ דְּאַתְּ בִּלְחוֹדָךְ. דְּהָא תָּנִינָן דְּלָא יִפּוּק בַּר נָשׁ יְחִידָאי בְּאָרְחָא. אָמַר לֵיהּ רַבְיָא חַד אָזִיל בַּהֲדָאי וְאִיהוּ אָתֵי אֲבַתְרָאי. אָמַר לֵיהּ וְעַל דָּא תְּוַוהְנָא אֵיךְ אָזִיל בַּהֲדָךְ מַאן דְּלָא תִשְׁתָּעֵי בֵּיהּ מִלֵּי דְאוֹרַיְיתָא. דְּהָא תָּנִינָן כָּל מַאן דְּאָזִיל בְּאָרְחָא וְלָאו עִמֵּיהּ מִלֵּי דְאוֹרַיְיתָא אִסְתַּכַּן בְּנַפְשֵׁיהּ. אָמַר לֵיהּ הָכִי הוּא וַדַּאי.

R. Hizkiah was going from Cappadocia to Lud, when R. Yesa met him. Said the latter to him, ‘I am surprised at your walking all alone, seeing that we have been taught that no man should proceed on a journey unaccompanied.’ R. Hizkiah replied, ‘There is a youth accompanying me, and he is following on.’ Said R. Yesa, ‘I am still more surprised to find that you have for a companion one with whom you could not discuss points of the Torah, since we have been taught that he who makes a journey unaccompanied by discussions on; the Torah exposes himself to danger.’ R. Hizkiah replied, ‘It is certainly so.’

Segment 2ב׳

אַדְהָכִי מָטָא הַהוּא רַבְיָא. אָמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי יֵיסָא בְּרִי מֵאָן אֲתַר אַנְתְּ. אָמַר לֵיהּ מִקַּרְתָּא דְלוּד וְשָׁמַעְנָא דְּהַאי בַּר נָשׁ חַכִּים אָזִיל תַּמָּן וְזַמִּינָא גַרְמָאי לְפוּלְחָנִיהּ וּלְמֵיהַךְ בַּהֲדֵיהּ.

Meanwhile the youth came up with them. Said R. Yesa to him, ‘My son, where do you come from?’ The lad answered, ‘From the town of Lud, and when I heard that this learned man was proceeding thither, I offered him my service and company.’ ‘My son,’ said R. Yesa, ‘do you know any Torah-exposition?’

Segment 3ג׳

אָמַר לֵיהּ בְּרִי יְדַעְתְּ מִלֵּי דְאוֹרַיְיתָא. אָמַר לֵיהּ יְדַעְנָא דְּהָא אַבָּא הֲוָה אוֹלִיף לִי בְּפָרָשַׁת קָרְבָּנוֹת וְאַרְכִינָא אוּדְנָאי לְמַאי דְּהֲוָה אָמַר עִם אָחִי דְּאִיהוּ קְשִׁישָׁא מִנָּאי. אָמַר לֵיהּ רַבִּי יֵיסָא בְּרִי אֵימָא לִי.
