Commentary for Avodah Zarah 61:3
אי הכי בשתיה נמי לישתרי דהא רבי יוחנן אקלע לפרוד אמר כלום יש משנת בר קפרא תנא ליה ר' תנחום דמן פרוד המפקיד יינו אצל עובד כוכבים מותר בשתיה
In that case it should be permitted to drink it as well! For when R. Yohanan came to Parud he asked if there was any teaching (mishnah) of Bar-Kappara, and R. Tanhum of Parud quoted to him [the following]: Wine which had been deposited with an idolater is permissible for drinking.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
If the non-Jew set aside a special corner for the wine, then why shouldn’t the Jew be allowed to drink it? The Talmud bolsters the question with a story about R. Yohanan coming to Parud.
There he asks R. Tanhum to a halakhah in the name of his teacher, Bar Kappara. The halakhah that is quoted contradicts what was said above. As an aside, R. Yohanan is happy to hear the teaching and considers him a proper student of Bar Kappara. In any case, we now have contradictory tannaitic sources.
