Yerushalmi Gittin 3:4 ירושלמי גיטין ג׳:ד׳

MISHNAH: Rebbi Eleazar ben Parṭa said three things before the Sages and they confirmed his words: [People in] a city which was surrounded by palisades⁹³Besieged by a hostile army., on a ship in emergency at sea, or a person about to be judged⁹⁴In a capital case., are presumed to be alive⁹⁵The wife of a man in one of these situations has to assume that her husband is alive.. But on [people in] a city conquered from palisades, a ship lost at sea, or a person led to execution, one puts the restrictions of the living and the dead: neither an Israel’s daughter⁹⁶If she is childless; otherwise she remains in her husband’s clan after the husband’s death. married to a Cohen⁹⁷She has to assume that her husband is dead and she has lost the right to priestly food. nor a Cohen’s daughter⁹⁶If she is childless; otherwise she remains in her husband’s clan after the husband’s death. married to an Israel⁹⁸She has to assume that her husband is alive and she has not regained the right to priestly food. may eat heave.

HALAKHAH: “Rebbi Eleazar ben Azariah said three things before the Sages in the vineyard at Jabne: About [people in] a city which was surrounded by palisades.”^99,This is not a quote from the Mishnah; it might be from a baraita which seems to have disappeared from Tosephta 2:12 (quoted in the next paragraph) which is missing an introduction.¹⁰⁰This is from Ketubot 2:10 (noted כ), explained there in Notes 163-171. (Note the spelling ליסטים, the final ם representing ס, a sure sign of Babylonian spelling.)What are palisades? Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi: For example if bells, chains, and dogs, and geese, and chickens, and soldiers surround the town. And Rebbi Abba in the name of Rav Ḥiyya bar Ashi said, it happened that a blind woman was able to flee from there. If there was one breach, it saved all. If there were hiding places, it is questionable. Rebbi Ze‘ira, Rebbi Abba bar Zavda, Rebbi Isaac bar Ḥaqula, in the name of Rebbi Yudan the Prince: Only if there were palisades of that government. But palisades from another government are like robbers.
