[If] he said to her: “Take this note of indebtedness,” or [if] she found it behind him, [and] she read it, and behold, it was her get, it is not a get until he will say to her: “This is your get.''  [If] he placed [it] in her hand [when] she was sleeping, [and] she awoke [and] read it, and behold, it was her get, it is not a get until he will say to her: “This is your get.”  [If] she was standing in public property, and he threw it to her —- [if it is] close to her, she is divorced; [if] close to him, she is not divorced; [if] half and half, she is divorced and not divorced.

The same [is true] concerning kiddushin, and the same [is true] concerning a debt: [If] his creditor said to him: “Throw me my debt,” and he threw it to him —- [if it falls] close to the lender, the borrower gains; [if] close to the borrower, he is obligated; [if] half and half, they both divide [it].  [If] she was standing on top of the roof, and he threw it to her, once it reaches the airspace of the roof, she is divorced.  [If] he [was] above and she below, and he threw it to her, once it leaves the domain of the roof, [even if] it was erased or burnt, she is divorced.

Beis Shammai say: A man may divorce his wife with an “old” get; Beis Hillel, however, prohibit [it]. What is an `old' get? Any [time] he secludes himself with her after he wrote it for her.

[If] he wrote [the date of the get] according to [the reign of] a kingdom which is unworthy, according to the kingdom of Media, according to the kingdom of Greece, to the construction of the Temple, [or] to the destruction of the Temple; [or if] he was in the East, and he wrote: “in the West,” [or] in the West, and he wrote: “in the East,” she must leave both of them, and she needs [to receive] a get from each of them. She is entitled neither to a kesubah, nor usufruct, nor sustenance, nor worn-out clothing, from either; if she took from either, she must return [it]. [Her] child by either is a mamzer. Neither of them may contaminate himself to her, and neither has rights to her findings, her handiwork, or the revocation of her vows. [If] she was the daughter of a non-Kohen, she is disqualified from marrying a Kohen; [if] the daughter of a Levi, [she is disqualified] from the tithe; [and if] the daughter of a Kohen, [she is disqualified] from terumah. The heirs of both do not inherit her kesubah. If they died, the brother of each performs chalitzah, but not yibum.  If he changed his name or her name, the name of his town or the name of her town, she must leave both of them, and all of these procedures apply to her.
