הַמּוֹצֵא פֵרוֹת בַּדֶּרֶךְ וּנְטָלָן לְאָכְלָן, וְנִמְלַךְ לְהַצְנִיעַ, לֹא יַצְנִיעַ עַד שֶׁיְּעַשֵּׂר. וְאִם מִתְּחִלָּה נְטָלָן בִּשְׁבִיל שֶׁלֹּא יֹאבֵדוּ, פָּטוּר. כָּל דָּבָר שֶׁאֵין אָדָם רַשַּׁאי לְמָכְרוֹ דְּמַאי, לֹא יִשְׁלַח לַחֲבֵרוֹ דְּמַאי. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי מַתִּיר בְּוַדַּאי, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיּוֹדִיעֶנּוּ:
Ktoś, kto znajduje produkty na drodze i zabiera je do zjedzenia, ale potem decyduje się je ukryć, nie powinien ich ukrywać, dopóki nie odda im dziesięciny. Jeśli od początku wziął je [plon], aby nie zepsuły, są zwolnione. Wszystko, czego dana osoba nie może sprzedać, gdy jest to Demai, nie powinno być również wysyłane do przyjaciela, jeśli jest to Demai . Rabin Yossi zezwala na to [w przypadku] z pewnością [bez tytułu], o ile go poinformuje.
Tosefta Demai
[With respect to one who] sends [produce to another], whether [through] an am ha'aretz or [through] a chaver, he [presumably, the sender] needs to tithe it. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says, [if he sends it] to an am ha'aretz, he [the sender] needs to tithe it, and [if he sends it] to a chaver, he [the chaver] needs to know (i.e., that it needs to be tithed, and therefore the sender doesn't need to tithe it). Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said, it so happened that Rabbi Yosah son of Rabbi sent me a large etrog from Tizippori, and he said, "This came into my hands from Caesarea." And I learned from this three things: first, that it was certainly untithed, [second] that it was impure, and [third] that the [messenger] only had this one [etrog] in the hands, for if he had in his hands another one, he would have taken tithes from that one for it (i.e., on behalf of the etrog that was delivered to Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel).
