(Mishnah - R. Yehudah): From Rekem or eastwards [is like Chutz la'Aretz], and Rekem itself is like the east. From Ashkelon or further south [is like Chutz La'aretz], and Ashkelon is like the south. From Ako or further north [is like Chutz La'aretz], and Ako is like north;

R. Meir says, Ako is like Eretz Yisrael regarding Gitin.

(Gemara - R. Yochanan, to people of Tzipori): You say in the name of R. Chaninah that even one who brings from Bavel to here (Eretz Yisrael) need not say b'Fanai Nechtav uv'Fanai Nechtam, and I say that he must, for in our Mishnah, R. Yehudah says 'from Rekem or eastwards, and Rekem is like the east'!

Note: KORBAN HA'EDAH and PNEI MOSHE explain that we ask from the Seifa (from Ako and to the north), for Bavel is north of Yisrael. I see no reason not to learn simply, that we ask because Bavel is east of Eretz Yisrael, which is called 'Ma'arava' (the west)! Also RASHBA (6a) connotes like this.

And even if you will say that that [Chachamim] argue with R. Yehudah, and hold that Rekem is not like the east, perhaps from Bavel (which is further east than Rekem, and also north of Eretz Yisrael) to here [a Shali'ach need not say the declaration]?!

(Rav): We (in Bavel) made ourselves like Eretz Yisrael for Gitin.

(Shmuel): Even from a neighborhood (of at least three houses) to a neighborhood [in Bavel, a declaration is needed].

Rav wanted to retract [and hold like R. Yochanan].

Kahana: What will we do to the first women who married [without a declaration, based on your previous ruling]?!

Question (Rav): What [objection] do you have [if no declaration was said, and she remarried]?!

Answer: [Kahana] holds like Rebbi;

(Beraisa): If one brought a Get from overseas, and it was not written in front of him and signed in front of him [and she remarried], she leaves [her husbands] and the 13 fines (for one who remarried based on a Get unlike Chachamim's requirements - below, 8:5) apply. Rebbi says so.

However, Chachamim did not agree to the matter.

All agree that [if the Shali'ach said the declaration, and] the husband came and protested, his protest is Batel.

Question: This is if he protested after she remarried. If he protested before she remarried, and she remarried [what is the law]?

Answer: We learn from the following. A case occurred in which a man brought a Get in front of R. Yishmael. R. Yishmael asked him 'from where are you?' He said, from Kefar Samai, in the Techum of Ako;

R. Yishmael: Even you must say b'Fanai Nechtav uv'Fanai Nechtam, and she will not need witnesses.

When [the man] left, R. Ilai asked 'Rebbi, [why is this needed]? Kefar Samai is from Eretz Yisrael. It is closer to Tzipori than Ako is!'

R. Yishmael: Since the episode was done in a permitted way, it was done.

Question: What does it mean 'since the episode was done in a permitted way, it was done'?

Answer (R. Ze'ira): If the husband came and protested, his protest is Batel.

One who brought a Get from Eretz Yisrael to Eretz Yisrael, does he need to say b'Fanai Nechtav uv'Fanai Nechtam?! (Surely he does not! Rather, it is only so if the husband came and protested, his protest is Batel. Even though she could find witnesses, we rely on the declaration l'Chatchilah. Likewise, before she remarried, even though she could find witnesses before remarrying, we rely on the declaration l'Chatchilah. - RIDVAZ)

Conclusion: There is no difference whether he protested after she remarried or before she remarried.
