Reference for Tevul Yom 4:5

בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה הָיוּ אוֹמְרִים, מְחַלְּלִין עַל פֵּרוֹת עַם הָאָרֶץ. חָזְרוּ לוֹמַר, אַף עַל מְעוֹתָיו. בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה הָיוּ אוֹמְרִים, הַיּוֹצֵא בַקּוֹלָר וְאָמַר, כִּתְבוּ גֵט לְאִשְׁתִּי, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ יִכְתְּבוּ וְיִתְּנוּ. חָזְרוּ לוֹמַר, אַף הַמְפָרֵשׁ וְהַיּוֹצֵא בִשְׁיָרָא. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן שְׁזוּרִי אוֹמֵר, אַף הַמְסֻכָּן:

Initially they would say: One may redeem [fruits of the second tithe] for the produce of an <i>am ha'aretz</i> [one who is lax in observing tithes and purity laws]. They then went back and said: also for his money [without fearing that the money may itself be of second-tithe products]. Initially they would say: One who is being taken out [for sentencing] in shackles, if he said, “Write a divorce document for my wife,” they may thereby write one and give it [to her]. They then went back and said: even one who sets out [on a sea voyage], or who departs in a caravan. Rabbi Shimon Shezuri says: even one who is dangerously ill.
