מסייע ליה לרבי יהושע בן לוי דא"ר יהושע בן לוי שגר לו בעל הבית לביתו מותר מ"ט בעל הבית לא שביק היתירא ואכל איסורא וכי משגר ליה ממאי דאכיל משדר ליה:

This supports the statement of R. Joshua b. Levi who said: If [a Syrian] householder sends him [as a gift any of these foods] he may eat them. What is the reason? A householder would not leave what is allowed and eat what is forbidden, and if he sends anything to him [it may be assumed that] he sends him from what he himself eats.
