If a person says, "I made my slave Tavi a free man'' or "I made him a free man'' or "I am making him a free man'' or "Behold he is a free man'' or "Behold, this one is a free man'' - the slave acquires his freedom.

R. Chiya citing R. Yochanan: As long as it was written in a document.

If he said, "He will be a free man'', Rebbi says that he goes free; the Chachamim say that he does not.

If a person says, "I gave field ploni to Ploni'' or "it is given to Ploni'' or "It shall be his'' or "Ploni will inherit my property'' or "Ploni will take possession of my property'' - he has not said anything.

If he said. "...will be given to Ploni as a gift'' - Rebbi says that he acquires it; Chachamim say that he does not, and we force the inheritors to fulfill the words of the dead.

Beraisa (R. Shimon ben Gamliel): Even if a person writes the field is a "diatimon'' (gift in Aramaic), it is a valid gift.

R. Chagin citing R. Yehoshua ben Levi: I asked all of the linguists and nobody could tell me the meaning of the word "diatimon''.
