Commentary for Shabbat 98:5

כתנאי עורות של בעה"ב מטלטלין אותן ושל אומן אין מטלטלין אותן ר' יוסי אומר אחד זה ואחד זה מטלטלין אותן:

Now surely, no distinction is drawn whether they belong to a householder or an artisan? — No: [It means those] of a householder. But what of those of an artisan? They may not be handled? If so, when it is taught, "'tanned" being specified only in respect to uncleanness,' let a distinction be drawn and taught in that itself: [viz.,] when is that said? [Only] of those belonging to a householder, but not concerning those of an artisan? — The whole deals with those of a householder.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In whose case no distinction can be drawn between tanned and untanned skins save in respect of defilement.
