תנו רבנן דיני ממונות בשלשה
The Sages taught in a baraita: Cases of monetary law are adjudicated by three.
ואם היה מומחה לרבים דן אפילו יחידי אמר רב נחמן כגון אנא דן דיני ממונות ביחידי וכן אמר ר' חייא כגון אנא דן דיני ממונות ביחידיאיבעיא להו כגון אנא דגמירנא וסבירנא ונקיטנא רשותא
But ifhewasan acknowledged expert, then he may judgeevenalone. Rav Naḥman said: One such as I may judge cases of monetary law alone. And similarly, Rabbi Ḥiyya said: One such as I may judge cases of monetary law alone. A dilemma was raised before the Sages: What is meant by "Such as I"? ThatI amgamirna [learned]and savirna [have developed moral intuition], and havereceived permission.
