1One who buys produce from one who is not trustworthy concerning tithing and forgot to tithe it; and asks him [the vendor] on Shabbat, may eat it by his [the vendor's] word. At nightfall at the conclusion of Shabbat, he may not eat until he has tithed [the produce]. If he did not find him [the vendor on Shabbat], [and] another individual who is not trustworthy concerning tithing says to him, "They are tithed," he can eat by his word. At nightfall at the conclusion of Sabbath, he may not eat until he has tithed. [In terms of the] Terumat Ma'aser [a portion of the tithes that is given to the priest] of Demai [produce from which it is uncertain if tithes were already taken] that returned to its place [was mixed back into the produce from which it was taken], Rabbi Shimon Shezuri says, "Even on a weekday, he asks him and eats by his [the vendor's] word."

2He who imposes a vow on his friend that he eat with him and he [the friend] does not trust him regarding tithes; he [the friend] should eat with him on the first Shabbat, even though he does not trust him regarding tithes, but only if he [the host] will say to him, "They [the food] are tithed." On the second Shabbat, even if [the host] vowed [not to receive] benefit from him [if he does not eat], he may not eat until he has tithed.

3Rabbi Eliezer says, "One does not need to designate the poor man's tithe of Demai." And the sages say, "He designates it, but doesn't need to separate it."

4If one designated the Terumat Ma'aser of Demai or the poor man's tithe of produce that has certainly not been tithed, he should not separate them [to give to a priest or poor person] on Shabbat. If a priest or a poor person was in the habit of eating at his home, they can come and eat as long as he informs them.

6If one enters a city and doesn't know any person there, he says, "Who here is trustworthy? Who here tithes?" If a person replies "I am," he is not trusted. If he said, "so-and-so person is trustworthy," he is trusted. If he goes to buy from him and says to him, "Who here sells Yashan [grain from the previous year that one is permitted to eat]?" If he replies, "The person that sent you to me", even though it is as if they are rendering services to each other, they are trusted.
