Bava Batra 13 - Problems in Property Division (Civil)

When brothers inherit fields of differing quality, they receive a portion in each field for an equitable division. If they later want to exchange the portion, they are treated as buyers from each other.

How does one divide a field bordered by a river on one
side and a canal on the other? It is divided into eight sections; each brother takes every other section.

All the properties that are not large enough to be divided, what can one partner do if he still wants to separate? One sets the price, and the other is given the option of buying his partner's share or selling his share at this price.
