Tosefta zu Daniel 8:4
רָאִ֣יתִי אֶת־הָאַ֡יִל מְנַגֵּחַ֩ יָ֨מָּה וְצָפ֜וֹנָה וָנֶ֗גְבָּה וְכָל־חַיּוֹת֙ לֹֽא־יַֽעַמְד֣וּ לְפָנָ֔יו וְאֵ֥ין מַצִּ֖יל מִיָּד֑וֹ וְעָשָׂ֥ה כִרְצֹנ֖וֹ וְהִגְדִּֽיל׃
Ich sah den Widder stoßen nach Westen und nach Norden und nach Süden, kein Tier widerstand ihm, und niemand rettete aus seiner Hand, er verfuhr nach seinem Willen und tat groß.
Tosefta Demai
The priestly portion of a chaver and the priestly portion of an am ha'aretz that got mixed up together, we compel the am ha'aretz to sell his portion. A Kohen (lit., "Jewish Priest") [can] share [the priestly portion] with a Samaritan Priest within Samaritan territory, because he is like one who delivers from his hand (Dan. 8:4) [per Lieberman, otherwise the entire priestly portion would go to the Samaritan, so in essence by taking a portion, the Jew is "delivering" part of the Terumah from the hand of the Samaritan]. However, this is not done in the Land [of Israel], lest [the Samaritans] have presumptions on (i.e., believe themselves entitled to the privileges of) the priesthood [in the Land of Israel]. But in the Land of Israel, in a place that they know him (i.e., the Samaritan Priest (perhaps implying that the population is diverse in that locale)), it is permitted to share with him.
