Commentary for Zevachim 147:6

והא אמר ר"א לא התיר רבי אליעזר אלא שנים שנים אבל אחד אחד לא א"ל אנא תרתי קאמינא

In accordance with whom did Samuel rule? If in accordance with R. Judah, it is forbidden even in the case of other interdicts? If in accordance with R. Simeon, then even in the case of idolatry too [a double doubt] is permitted? And should you say, R. Simeon allows a distinction between idolatry and other interdicts; then when it was taught, A doubt of idolatry is forbidden, but a double doubt is permitted,' who is its author? it is neither R. Judah nor R. Simeon? - In truth [the author of this is] R. Simeon, and he permits in the case of idolatry too, while Samuel agrees with R. Judah in one matter, but disagrees in another. <br>
