and that [which a husband] inherits [from] his wife!  Raba said to him: And now that he did send [his letter] do we know [this]?  Surely R. Jose b. Hanina stated:  At Usha  it was ordained [that if] a woman had sold during the lifetime of her husband, usufruct property,  and died, the husband may seize them from the buyers?  — But, said R. Ashi, the Rabbis have given a husband the status  of an heir and [also the status of] a buyer; and whichever was better for him they gave him.  In respect of the Jubilee year, the Rabbis gave him the status of an heir, in order [to prevent] loss to him.  In the case of [the statement of] R.

R. GAMALIEL SAID: ADMON'S VIEW HAS MY APPROVAL. GEMARA. What is considered a large estate?  — Rab Judah said in the name of Rab: Out of which both  may be maintained for twelve months. When I recited this before Samuel,  he said, 'This is the view of R. Gamaliel b. Rabbi, but the Sages say that [the estate must be large enough] to provide for the maintenance of both  until they reach their majority'. [So] it was also stated [else. where]: When Rabin came,  he said in the name of R. Johanan, (others say [that it was] Rabbah b. Bar Hanah [who] said it in the name of R. Johanan): When [the estate is large enough] to provide for the maintenance of both until they have reached their majority, It is [considered] large; if less, it is regarded as small. And if [the estate] does not suffice for both until they have reached their majority,
