Kesubos 13:1-2

Kesubos 13:1

There were two judges in Jerusalem who issued decrees: Admon and Chanan ben Avishalom. Chanan made two decrees and Admon made seven. If a man goes overseas and his wife demands support, Chanan says she takes an oath at the end (when she comes to collect the value of her kesubah) but not at the beginning (when she claims support). The sons of the High Priests (presumably a court of kohanim) disagreed with this ruling; they maintained that the woman takes an oath at the beginning and not at the end. Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas agreed with the sons of the High Priests but Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai agreed with Chanan that the woman only takes a vow at the end.

Kesubos 13:2

If a man went overseas and another person voluntarily supported his wife, Chanan says that the one who supported her need not be reimbursed. The sons of the High Priests disagreed, saying that he takes an oath as to how much he spent and collects it. Rabbi Dosa ben Harkinas agreed with the sons of the High Priests but Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai agreed with Chanan that the one who laid out the money metaphorically “left his money on the horns of a deer.”
