Reference for Gittin 7:9

אִם לֹא בָאתִי מִכָּאן עַד שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ כִּתְבוּ וּתְנוּ גֵט לְאִשְׁתִּי, כָּתְבוּ גֵט בְּתוֹךְ שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ וְנָתְנוּ לְאַחַר שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ, אֵינוֹ גֵט. כִּתְבוּ וּתְנוּ גֵט לְאִשְׁתִּי אִם לֹא בָאתִי מִכָּאן וְעַד שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ, כָּתְבוּ בְתוֹךְ שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ וְנָתְנוּ לְאַחַר שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ, אֵינוֹ גֵט. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, כָּזֶה גֵּט. כָּתְבוּ לְאַחַר שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ וְנָתְנוּ לְאַחַר שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר חֹדֶשׁ וּמֵת, אִם הַגֵּט קָדַם לַמִּיתָה, הֲרֵי זֶה גֵט. וְאִם מִיתָה קָדְמָה לַגֵּט, אֵינוֹ גֵט. וְאִם אֵין יָדוּעַ, זוֹ הִיא שֶׁאָמְרוּ, מְגֹרֶשֶׁת וְאֵינָהּ מְגֹרָשֶׁת:

(If he said:) "If I do not come from now until twelve months, write and give a get to my wife" — if they wrote it within twelve months and gave it after twelve months, it is not a get. (If he said:) "Write and give a get to my wife if I do not come from now until twelve months" — if they wrote it within twelve months and gave it after twelve months, it is not a get. R. Yossi says: In this instance, it is a get. (If he said:) "Write it after twelve months and give it after twelve months," and he died — if the (writing of the) get preceded his death, it is a get; and if his death preceded the (writing of the) get, it is not a get. And if it is not known (which preceded which), of such an instance they said: "She is divorced and not divorced."
