Commentary for Arakhin 57:9

אלא רבי יהודה בן בתירא האי כשדה החרם מאי עביד ליה

he may not say: Since it falls to the priests [at Jubilee] and is now in my possession, it shall remain mine; and i is arguable a minori: If I acquire title to what belongs to others, how much more [can I do so] with what belongs to me! Therefore it is written: 'As a field devoted, the possession thereof shall be the priest's'.
