"That I am nothing other than poor", and he was rich but became poor; "That I am nothing other than rich", and he was poor but became rich; "That I am nothing other than a spice merchant", and he was a tanner but became a spice merchant; "That I am nothing other than a tanner", and he was a spice merchant but became a tanner; "That I am nothing other than a townsman", and he was a city dweller but became a townsman; "That I am nothing other than a city dweller", and he was a townsman but became a city dweller; "That I have no children", and he had [children] but they subsequently died; "That I have children", and he did not have them but they were subsequently born to him—she is not betrothed. This is the pneumonic: Any stipulation that is fulfilled at the moment of betrothal—even if it became void afterwards—she is betrothed; and any [stipulation] that is not fulfilled at the moment of betrothal—even if it was fulfilled afterwards—she is not betrothed.

Tosefta Kiddushin
"[Be betrothed to me] with the understanding that I am rich"—he did not say "the richest of the rich", rather all of the people of his town pay him respect according to his wealth. (Translated according to Ehrfurt manuscript). "With the understanding that I am a sage"—he did not say like either Shimon ben Azzai or Shimon ben Zoma, but all the people of his town pay him respect. "With this silver dinar", but it turned out to be of gold—she is not betrothed. What should he do? Take it from her, return and give it to her, and say to her: "Behold you are betrothed to me."
