Commentary for Kiddushin 150:2

ומי סבר לה ר' ישמעאל כר"ע והאמר רבי יוחנן משום ר' ישמעאל מנין לעובד כוכבים ועבד שבאו על הכהנת ועל הלויה ועל בת ישראל שפסלוה שנאמר (ויקרא כב, יג) ובת כהן כי תהיה אלמנה וגרושה וזרע אין לה

And R'Ishmael agrees with R'Akiba, who said: If a heathen or a slave has intercourse with the daughter of an Israelite, the issue is mamzer.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Thus the Cuthean (male) may be the issue of a Cuthean and a Jewess, hence mamzer; while the female may be born of two Cutheans, hence a heathen. Now a mamzer is a Jew, though debarred from a legitimately-born Jewess, and may not marry a heathen.');">²</span> But does R'Ishmael hold with R'Akiba?
