Commentary for Avodah Zarah 71:8
ושמן דניאל גזר והאמר באלי אבימי נותאה משמיה דרב פיתן ושמנן יינן ובנותיהן כולן משמנה עשר דבר הן
But did Daniel decree against oil? Behold Bali declared that Avimi the Nota’a said in the name of Rav: The bread, wine and oil of non-Jews and their daughters are all included in the eighteen things!
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
The Talmud cites a counter tradition. The food products made by Gentiles were prohibited not by Daniel, but during the period of Hillel and Shammai when they made “18 decrees.” The discussion of these decrees is found in the beginning of Tractate Shabbat.
The Talmud rejects the notion that Daniel made the decrees, it was rejected, and then Hillel and Shammai remade it. If that was true, why would Rav have said that Daniel made the decree? After all, it was rejected.
