Tosefta zu Peah 4:9
מִי שֶׁלָּקַט אֶת הַפֵּאָה וְאָמַר הֲרֵי זוֹ לְאִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי עָנִי, רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, זָכָה לוֹ. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יִתְּנֶנָּה לֶעָנִי שֶׁנִּמְצָא רִאשׁוֹן. הַלֶּקֶט וְהַשִּׁכְחָה וְהַפֵּאָה שֶׁל עוֹבֵד כּוֹכָבִים חַיָּב בְּמַעַשְׂרוֹת, אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן הִפְקִיר:
Wer Peah sammelt und sagt: „Siehe, das ist für den einen oder anderen armen Mann“ - Rabbi Eliezer sagt: Er hat es für ihn erworben; Die Weisen sagen: Er muss es der ersten armen Person geben, die er findet. Der Leket , der Shikhechah und der Peah eines Nichtjuden sind zum Zehnten verpflichtet, es sei denn, er gibt sie auf.
Tosefta Peah
The gleanings and the forgotten sheaves and the peah [taken from the field] of a Gentile are liable in tithes (see Peah 4:9, "unless he declared them ownerless"). When is this? At a time that the Gentile protests [his produce being deemed ownerless, thus rendering it liable for tithes (see Kulp at Peah 4:9)], but if the Gentile does not protest [and consents to his property being deemed ownerless], the ownerless property of a Gentile is [indeed] ownerless, and exempt from tithes.

Tosefta Peah
One who declares his orchard ownerless (see Peah 4:9), the rich people [may] take away the grapefruits and the grapes, [and] the poor people [may] take away the grapefruits and the grapes with defective clusters (olelot). What are defective clusters? Any [cluster] that lacks a "shoulder" or a "pendant." If it has a shoulder but not a pendant, or has a pendant but lacks a shoulder, behold, it belongs to the property owner, and if not, behold, it belongs to the poor people. What is a "shoulder"? Growths joined to each other at the stem, each one next to the other (and see Bartenura to Peah 7:4). What is a "pendant"?Grapes joined to the stem that drop down (and see ibid.).
