NOTES
משנה ג
יתקים בחותמיו - This is accomplished either by (i) the witnesses themselves testifying that these are their signatures; (ii) other witnesses testifying that they recognize the signatures as being of the purported witnesses; or (iii) the signatures on the get matching the signatures of the same witnesses upon another document previously validated in בית דין.
ואינו יכול לומר - As a deaf-mute is not valid to serve as the messenger for delivery of a get, this case must be where the messenger was, at the moment he delivered the get, able to make the statement, and was struck deaf and dumb immediately after, before he could actually make the statement.
