Reference for Nedarim 4:8

הָיוּ מְהַלְּכִין בַּדֶּרֶךְ, וְאֵין לוֹ מַה יֹּאכַל, נוֹתֵן לְאַחֵר לְשׁוּם מַתָּנָה וְהַלָּה מֻתָּר בָּהּ. אִם אֵין עִמָּהֶם אַחֵר, מַנִּיחַ עַל הַסֶּלַע אוֹ עַל הַגָּדֵר וְאוֹמֵר, הֲרֵי הֵן מֻפְקָרִים לְכָל מִי שֶׁיַּחְפֹּץ, וְהַלָּה נוֹטֵל וְאוֹכֵל. וְרַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹסֵר:

If they were walking on the road, and he had nothing to eat, he (the neighbor) may give (food) to another as a gift, and this one (the bevower) is permitted to take it. If there is no other with them, he may place it on a rock or on a fence and say: "It is hefker for whoever wants it," and he may take it and eat it. R. Yossi forbids it. [For since he is the only one there to take it, it is like a gift. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yossi. And it is only for one who has nothing to eat that the rabbis permitted it, but not for another.]
