ואבדה דרך שדהו. שהחזיקו בה בעלי השדות שבמצריו:
ילך לו בקצרה. על כרחם יטול לו דרך לשדהו, אבל יברור לו דרך קצרה שלא ירבה ליטול. ובזמן שד׳ בני אדם מקיפים אותו מד׳ רוחות מודה אדמון לחכמים שכל אחד יכול לומר אייתי ראיה דדרכך גבאי ושקול. ואם אדם אחד הקיפהו מד׳ רוחות מודים חכמים לאדמון דממה נפשך אורחיה גביה הוא. לא נחלקו אלא כשהקיפהו אדם אחד שבא מכח ארבעה בני אדם. אדמון אומר, מצי אמר ליה ממה נפשך אורחי גבך, וחכמים אומרים מצי אמר ליה היאך, אי שתקת שתקת, ואי לא, מהדרנא שטרא למרייהו ולא מצית לאשתעויי דינא בהדייהו. והלכה כחכמים:

Bartenura
והלה הוציא שמכר לו את השדה – the borrower brought out against him the latter bill of sale to the loan document and stats that your document is forged, or it is paid off , for if I had been liable to you, you would not have sold me the field that was yours to collect your lien.
זה היה פקח שמכר לו את השדה – because this one abandoned his movable property, and he did not have from where he could he could mortgage on his lien and now he takes the property. Bu in a place where the purchaser gives Zuzim/money and afterwards the writing of a bill/document of sale, everyone does not disagree that the seller should have tarried with his lien of the money that received and should not write for him the document and since he wrote it, it proves that he does not have a lien upon him, but they argue in a place where they wrote the document and afterwards the purchaser gives the Zuzim/money. Admon holds that he should have sent a declaration (especially a protest before witnesses against a forced or unduly influenced action): “I will not see you other than in order that I am able to mortgage it.” But the Sages state: the fact that he did not send a declaration because he was afraid lest the matter should become known and he would have been prevented from purchasing the field, and the Halakha is according to the Sages.
והלה הוציא שמכר לו את השדה. הלוה הוציא עליו שטר מכירה מאוחרת לשטר ההלואה, ואומר שטרך מזויף או פרוע, שאם הייתי חייב לך לא היית מוכר לי את השדה, שהיה לך לגבות חובך:
זה היה פקח שמכר לו את השדה. לפי שהיה זה מבריח מטלטליו, ולא היה לו מהיכן ימשכננו על חובו, ועכשיו יטול את הקרקע. ובאתרא דהלוקח יהיב זוזי והדר כתבי שטר מכירה כולי עלמא לא פליגי שהיה למוכר לעכב בחובו המעות שקיבל ולא יכתוב לו השטר, וכיון שכתבו הוכיח שאין לו עליו חוב. כי פליגי, באתרא דכתבי שטרא והדר יהיב הלוקח זוזי, אדמון סבר, איבעי ליה לממסר מודעה איני מוכר לו אלא כדי שאוכל למשכנו. וחכ״א האי דלא מסר מודעא כי ירא שמא ישמע הדבר וימנע מלקנות את השדה. והלכה כחכמים:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

ואבדה דרך שדהו – that the owners of the field who took possession of it that was in his narrow path marking the boundary between fields.
ילך לו בקצרה – by force against their will, he should take for himself the path to his field, but he should choose for himself the shortest path so that he would not have to take a lot. And at the time when people surround it from the four directions Admon agrees with the Sages that each person can say, “I brought proof that your path is [where the money was] collected and taken. But if one person surrounded it from the four directions, the Sages agree that whatever side you take, his path is with him. They did not dispute other than when one person surrounded it when he came under the power of four people. Admon states that one can say to him, whatever side you take, my path is with you. But the Sages say that one can say to him: How? If you were silent, you were silent, but if not, return the document to his master, and you will not be able to talk about the law with/to sue him. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
