Commentary for Avodah Zarah 113:8
קתני מיהת גדולים אין קטנים לא תרגמה אבני שפחות
In any case, it teaches that adults do [render wine yayin nesekh] but minors do not! [Rav] explained the teaching as referring to the children of female slaves.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Rav says that the baraita refers only to the children of female slaves. Slaves owned by a Jew are considered Jewish, and therefore these children are Jewish. Their touch does not render wine yayin nesekh. But the touch of non-Jewish minors does, including slaves bought from non-Jews before the slaves were circumcised and immersed.
