Reference for Demai 1:2

הַדְּמַאי אֵין לוֹ חֹמֶשׁ, וְאֵין לוֹ בִעוּר, וְנֶאֱכָל לְאוֹנֵן, וְנִכְנָס לִירוּשָׁלַיִם וְיוֹצֵא, וּמְאַבְּדִין אֶת מִעוּטוֹ בַּדְּרָכִים, וְנוֹתְנוֹ לְעַם הָאָרֶץ, וְיֹאכַל כְּנֶגְדּוֹ. וּמְחַלְּלִים אוֹתוֹ כֶּסֶף עַל כֶּסֶף, נְחֹשֶׁת עַל נְחשֶׁת, כֶּסֶף עַל נְחֹשֶׁת, וּנְחֹשֶׁת עַל הַפֵּרוֹת, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיַּחֲזֹר וְיִפְדֶּה אֶת הַפֵּרוֹת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, יַעֲלֶה הַפֵּרוֹת וְיֵאָכְלוּ בִירוּשָׁלָיִם:

<i>Demai</i> does not have a [penalty of a] fifth, and does not require removal, and an <i>Onen</i> [person whose close relative has died and not yet been buried] may eat it, and may enter Jerusalem and leave, and one may lose a small amount of it on the road, and it may be given to an <i>Am HaAretz</i> [one who is lax in observing tithes and purity laws], and he may eat something else instead and exchange it, silver for silver, copper for copper, silver for copper, and copper for fruit. And this is only if he returns to redeem the fruits, this is the opinion of Rabbi Meir. And the sages say, “He brings up the fruit, and they will be eaten in Jerusalem.”
