Two judges of decrees were in Jerusalem: Admon and Chanan ben Avishalom. Chanan says two things; Admon says seven.  [If] someone went overseas, and his wife demands sustenance —- Chanan says: She must swear at the end, but she need not swear at the beginning. The sons of the Kohanim Gedolim differed with him, and said: She must swear both at the beginning and at the end. R’ Dosa ben Harkinas concurred with their view. Said Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai: Chanan said well; she need not swear, except at the end.

[If] someone went overseas, and someone [else] came forward and supported his wife —- Chanan says: He lost his money. The sons of the Kohanim Gedolim differed with him, and said: Let him swear how much he spent and recover [it]. R’ Dosa ben Harkinas concurred with their view. Said Rabban Yochanan ben Zakkai: Chanan said well; he squandered his money.

Admon says seven:  [If] someone dies and leaves sons and daughters —- in the event that there is much property, the sons inherit, and the daughters are supported. [If] there is little property, the daughters are supported, and the sons must go begging. Admon says: Because I am a male, do I lose? Said Rabban Gamliel: I approve of Admon’s view.

[If] one claims vessels of oil from another, and he admits to the vessels —- Admon says: Since he has admitted to part of the claim, he must swear. The Sages, however, say: This is not an admission of the same kind as the claim. Said Rabban Gamliel: I approve of Admon’s view.
