Mesorat%20hashas for Avodah Zarah 104:16

בילדותו מאי קסבר ובזקנותו מאי קסבר בילדותו סבר ישראל אדעתא דעובד כוכבים פלח כיון דעובד כוכבים מבטל דנפשיה דישראל נמי מבטלה ובזקנותו סבר ישראל אדעתא דנפשיה פלח כי מבטל עובד כוכבים דנפשיה דישראל לא בטיל

What did Rabbi hold in his youth and what did he hold in his old age? In his youth he held that the Israelite worshipped the idol on account of the non-Jew, so that when the latter annulled it for himself he annulled it also for the Israelite. In his old age he held that the Israelite worshipped it on his own account, so that when the non-Jew annulled it he did so for himself but not for the Israelite.
