Tosefta su Levitico 19:23
וְכִי־תָבֹ֣אוּ אֶל־הָאָ֗רֶץ וּנְטַעְתֶּם֙ כָּל־עֵ֣ץ מַאֲכָ֔ל וַעֲרַלְתֶּ֥ם עָרְלָת֖וֹ אֶת־פִּרְי֑וֹ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֗ים יִהְיֶ֥ה לָכֶ֛ם עֲרֵלִ֖ים לֹ֥א יֵאָכֵֽל׃
E quando verrai nella terra e avrai piantato ogni sorta di alberi per il cibo, allora considererai i suoi frutti come proibiti; tre anni sarà per te proibito; non deve essere mangiato.
Tosefta Demai
A Gentile who was shouting, and said "Come and buy for yourselves! This is produce from newly broken land (=עזק, see Jastrow)! This is uncircumcised fruit (Lev. 19:23)! This is fourth-year fruit (Lev. 19:24)!" he is not to be trusted, because he is like one who praises [מקחו], but if he says "This is from such-and-such Samaritan," [or] "I bought this from such-and-such Gentile," [or] "This comes from my own," he is trusted to be stringent, the words of Rebbi. Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel says, "We do not trust him, as the words of a Gentile make no difference (lit., do not go up and do not go down)."
