Tosefta for Demai 6:2
הַחוֹכֵר שָׂדֶה מִן הַנָּכְרִי, מְעַשֵּׂר וְנוֹתֵן לוֹ. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אַף הַמְקַבֵּל שְׂדֵה אֲבוֹתָיו מִן הַנָּכְרִי, מְעַשֵּׂר וְנוֹתֵן לוֹ:
One who rents a field from a non-Jew must separate the tithes and then give [the landlord] his portion. Rabbi Yehudah says, also one who acquires his ancestral field from a non-Jew must separate the tithes and then give [the non-Jew] his portion.
Tosefta Demai
Rabbi Yosei ben HaMeshullam testified in the name of his brother Rabbi Nathan, who said in the name of Rabbi Eliezer ben Hasma (alt., "R. Eliezer Hasma"), "If one rented from a Gentile a field which had formerly belonged to his fathers [for a share in the produce], he gives him (i.e., the Gentile his portion) as they are (i.e., without separating tithes or Terumah)." (But see Dem. 6:2, Kulp tr.).
