תלמוד על עבודה זרה 5:1

It was stated⁹⁴Tosephta 6:26; there camel drivers are mentioned instead of “all those working”. The quote in the Babli (Avodah Zarah 62a) mentions only donkey drivers.: “The wages of donkey drivers, carriers, and all those working with Sabbatical produce are Sabbatical.” Rebbi Zeïra said, this baraita deals with permitted produce. What is the meaning of “the wages are Sabbatical”? That they may take their wages in the form of Sabbatical produce. Then it must be that, when Rebbi Joḥanan taught those of [the House of] Rebbi Yannai not to take the wages of their oil presses in wine but in money, he taught them following Rebbi Jehudah and Rebbi Neḥemiah⁹⁵The baraita is taken as the position of the rabbis opposing Rebbis Jehudah and Neḥemiah (Note 69). This position is rejected in the Babli (loc.cit.) since the text does not include “all those working with produce”. It is held that poorly paid workers may be paid in kind following the rules of Mishnah 5 but not highly paid donkey drivers, following Rebbi Abbahu.. Rebbi Hila⁹⁶He is R. La.: the baraita deals with those who carry forbidden produce⁹⁷Produce from guarded fields or harvested in a professional way.. What is the meaning of “the wages are Sabbatical”? As Rebbi Abbahu, Rebbi Joḥanan said, they fined him with wine of libations⁹⁸This refers to Mishnah Avodah Zarah 5:1 which states that the wages of a Jewish worker earned by a contract which specifies work for wine used, or to be used, for idolatrous libations is forbidden for all usufruct. R. Abbahu (Avodah Zarah Halakhah 5:1) notes that no principle of law requires that the wages be forbidden; it is a rabbinic ordinance imposed to avoid situations in which pagan wine might be sold to Jews, and the same situation applies here.; here also, they fined him.
