Kesubos 13:7

Let’s say that a man goes overseas and, while he’s there, the path to his field becomes unidentifiable. In such a case, Admon says he may access his field by the shortest route (even though it trespasses on others’ property). The Sages say he can either purchase a path for 10,000 dinar (i.e., as much as is demanded for the access) or he can fly over other people’s property.

Kesubos 13:8

Let’s say that a person produces a document showing a debt owed to him by another person and the borrower produces proof that the lender sold him a field. Admon says the borrower can claim that, had he owed the lender money, the lender should have collected it when he sold him the field. The Sages say that this is actually savvy business on the lender’s part because he can now seize the field as security for the loan.
