Mishnah for Kilayim 7:6

הָאַנָּס שֶׁזָּרַע אֶת הַכֶּרֶם וְיָצָא מִלְּפָנָיו, קוֹצְרוֹ אֲפִלּוּ בַמּוֹעֵד. עַד כַּמָּה הוּא נוֹתֵן לַפּוֹעֲלִים, עַד שְׁלִישׁ. יָתֵר מִכָּאן, קוֹצֵר כְּדַרְכּוֹ וְהוֹלֵךְ אֲפִלּוּ לְאַחַר הַמּוֹעֵד. מֵאֵימָתַי הוּא נִקְרָא אַנָּס, מִשֶּׁיִּשְׁקָע:

If an <i>anas</i> [one who obtains property by threat of force] sowed a vineyard [with grains], and then it was taken from him [the rightful owner recovered it], he [the rightful owner], cuts it down even on the intermediate days of a Festival [to avoid the impression that he maintains <i>kilayim</i>] . How much [extra] should he pay the laborers [if they refuse to work on the intermediate days]? Up to a third [more than the usual rate]. [If they demand] more than that, he [need not hire laborers, but] cuts it as usual even after the Festival [and the vines will not become forbidden]. From what stage [onward] is [the property] called <i>anas</i> [property]? When [the original owner's name] has subsided.
