Papa's landlord, and, according to others, a stranger ,came before R. Papa with eggs which were laid ou the Sabbath preceding a festival, and asked R. Papa if they could be eaten on the morrow (festival). R. Papa answered him: "Go away now and come to-morrow," because Rab did not use an interpreter from [after dinner of] the first day of a festival up to the next day, on account of being sober [and unfit to render decisions]. When he [the inquirer] came on the next day, R. Papa said to him (Ib. b): "Had I decided the question forthwith, when I was a little sober, I would have erred, for I would have decided it in accordance with the general rule that wherever Rab and R. Jochanan differ, the Halacha always prevails according to the opinion of R. Jochanan, which however, in this particular case, does not hold, because Raba said, 'In these three cases [of which the above is one], the Halacha [law] is in accord with the opinion of Rab, regardless of whether its effect is lenient or restrictive.'"
