Talmud for Makkot 1:5

בָּאוּ אֲחֵרִים וְהִזִּימוּם, בָּאוּ אֲחֵרִים וְהִזִּימוּם, אֲפִלּוּ מֵאָה, כֻּלָּם יֵהָרֵגוּ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אִסְטָסִית הִיא זוֹ, וְאֵינָהּ נֶהֱרֶגֶת אֶלָּא כַת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה בִלְבָד:

If others came and they (the refuters) rendered them zomemin; if others came, and they rendered them zomemin — even if they were a hundred [sets of witnesses, giving the same testimony one after the other, and all refuted by the same set], they are all killed. R. Yehudah says: "This (refuting) set is istasith" [perverse and devious, having taken counsel between themselves to refute whoever comes to give this testimony. Another interpretation: "Is this (refuting set a vat of) isatis" (a dye), (which dyes all who touch it)]! And only the first set of witnesses is killed. [R. Yehudah holds that after the first set is refuted, the succeeding set is not accepted; and if they do testify and are refuted, they are not killed, not satisfying: "Then you shall do to him, etc.", for he (the adjudged) is not killed by their testimony. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.]

Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit

Rebbi Eleazar said, this follows Rebbi Jehudah since he could ask him for payment on New Years’s Day. Rebbi Abba bar Mamal, Rav Amram, Rav Mattanah in the name of Rav: If somebody makes a loan to another person stipulating that he will not press for repayment, the Sabbatical will remit it58One should assume that the loan is not remitted in the Sabbatical since it can never be claimed and the Sabbatical law applies only to loans that can be claimed (Deut. 15:2).. We did state: “If somebody slaughters a cow and divides it up on New Year’s Day,” and Rebbi Eleazar said, this follows Rebbi Jehudah59Since it is assumed that payment cannot be claimed on New Year’s Day since it cannot be given.. But can he require payment on New Year’s Day? As Rebbi Abba said in the name of Rebbi Zeïra: Since he could ask him for payment, he can believe him. And since he could believe him, he could pay him60The case of the butcher cannot be used to support Rav’s statement; in practice, Rav’s statement is rejected.. And here, because he could have given him but did not give, the first [debt] is turned into a loan61This sentence does not belong here but to Mishnah 1, cf. Note 31..
