Rava and Abaye have a disagreement about when one picks up a lost item without any identifiable features, if the owner has not yet despaired of the item (because he doesn’t even know he lost it), can we assume that since he will despair when he realizes it’s lost, the finder can acquire the item now (Rava). Or do we hold that since at this point he has not despaired, the item does not belong to the one who found it (Abaye). This is one of 6 cases where we hold like Abaye in his disagreements with Rava. The gemara tries to bring proofs for each side from tannaitic sources.
