[If] two were riding an animal, or [if] one was riding and the other was leading, [and] one says: “It is all mine,” and the other says, “It is all mine” —- this one must swear that he owns no less of it than half, and that one must swear that he owns not less of it than half, and they divide [it].  Whenever they admit or they have witnesses, they divide without an oath.

[If] one, [while] riding an animal, saw an acquirable object, and said to another: “Give it to me” —- [if the latter] took it and said: “I have acquired it [for myself],” he has [indeed] acquired it. If, after he gave it to him, he said: “I acquired it first,” [it is as though] he said nothing.

[If] one saw an acquirable object and fell upon it, and another came and seized it, the one who seized it acquired it.  [If] one saw people running after an acquirable object —- after a lame deer [or] after young birds that cannot [yet] fly —- and he said: “My field has acquired [it] for me,” it has [indeed] acquired [it] for him.  [If] the deer was running normally or if the young birds were flying, and he said: “My field has acquired [it] for me,” [it is as though] he said nothing.

The finding of one’s minor son or daughter, the finding of one’s gentile slave —- male or female —- [and] the finding of one’s wife belong to him.  The finding of one’s son or daughter who is of age, the finding of one’s Jewish bondman or bond-woman, the finding of one’s wife whom he divorced —- although he has not [yet] paid her kesubah —- belong to them.
